[erlang-questions] Fwd: Report errors when using "-detached" option

Hmmm. Calling "exit(error_code)" isn't reported to the invoker.
So $? always equals to 0.

Is this an expected behaviour of calling "exit(error_code)" when using  
"-detached" flag.

I've checked that on both Linux and OSX Leopard with RB12-5.
