[erlang-questions] [erl -name] crashes on vista

[cactus]

by the way i already tried

C:\Windows\system32>erl
Eshell V5.6  (abort with ^G)
1> gen_tcp:listen(0,[]).
{ok,#Port<0.96>}
2>

=> this was mentioned in some ejabberd forum where someone had the
same problem => in my case the response to gen_tcp looks like that it
should work ....

strange
