[erlang-questions] escript run from a rebar post_hook throwing "erlexec" error on Windows

[Jesse Gumm]

Hi David,

I do indeed have the latest version of  mimetypes.

Oddly, I can actually build the mimetypes app directly just fine.

The problem is when it's used as a dependency in a reltool generated
release, rebar crashes when it does the post_hooks.

I've done a quick git blame on erlexec.c and escript.c and nothing stands
out (neither of them have really changed at all). I've tried newer and
older versions of rebar. All with the same result.

The only variable that changes things is which version of Erlang. R15B
works, R15B01 and R15B02 do not. Maybe I have to look at erl.c. I don't
know.

Thanks though,
