[erlang-questions] Process hanging with huge message queue , with current_function, {mnesia_tm, get_dirty_reply, 2}

[Ahmed Omar]

Actually looking into the message queue, the replies are there but they are
at the top of list (which is the end of the queue). So i guess the process
doesn't have enough time to scan the whole queue to pick up the results.
