[erlang-questions] gen_fsm crashes

[Ken Robinson]

Hi All,
Inspecting the gen_fsm.erl code from std_lib, it has a main
loop(Parent, Name, StateName, StateData, Mod, Timeout, Debug) method.
Appears one can have a bad receive timeout value. Need to now see what
is a good way to track down that value. I see that Debug has options
like trace and log. I am now trying to start up the application so
these Debug options are active.
Ken.
