[erlang-questions] Any tcp related changes in R15B* that might cause this?

[Anthony Molinaro]

Well, yes, I did see the tcp_closed message, my real question is I guess
related to your statement

"It may be that R15 is more accurate at reporting here than R14, so the older version just accepts the result blindly and then have the no change, whereas R15 actually reports the correct error."

Can anyone from OTP clarify if any work was done with regards to error
messages?  I did not find anything in the release notes which is why
I'm wondering.

I suppose I could attempt to git bisect this or something, but I'm not
sure how difficult that might be.

Thanks,

-Anthony
