[erlang-questions] receiving pang from net_adm:ping/1 even though net_adm:names/0 shows the other node

[Dennis Byrne]

Never had problem with this before but this is the first time I've
used a Mac.  Here's the info:

>From console A ...

$ erl -sname foo -setcookie c
(foo@REDACTED)1>

>From console B ...

$ erl -name bar -setcookie c
(bar@REDACTED)1>

>From console C ...

$  /usr/local/lib/erlang/erts-5.6.4/bin/epmd -names
epmd: up and running on port 4369 with data:
name bar at port 51292
name foo at port 51290

>From Console B ...

(bar@REDACTED)1> net_adm:ping(bar@REDACTED).
pong
(bar@REDACTED)2> net_adm:ping(foo@REDACTED).
pang
(bar@REDACTED)3> net_adm:names().
{ok,[{"foo",51290},{"bar",51292}]}

Note that the pang is received after the cursor hangs for a few
seconds.  The cursor does not hang when I type
net_adm:ping(foo@REDACTED).
