driver_async to invoke a function asynchronously. First reference to the
function ‘driver_async’ works fine. But next reference to the same call leads to
a segmentation fault. I’m using erlang release R11B-2. Same code works fine with
erlang release R10B-10. Is it a problem with erlang
release?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
