[erlang-questions] : : First send from JInterface ok, second one blocs?? FOUND THE PROBLEM

[Alexander Lamb]

Is it important to dig further? Or can we (for the time being) suggest  
that on MacOSX NOT to use short names?

Of course, I can setup a test case, but being new to Erlang, I might  
not be looking for the right things.
Tell me if you want me to check some additional info!

To answer a previous question from Raimo, I traced the objects I use  
to connect (especially the mailbox) and I can confirm that my test was  
using only one object. Therefore, we are clearly in a situation where  
upon setting up the connection the lookup works one way and for  
following lookups it works in another way.
