<DIV><BR>This still doesn't work for me. I'm running Windows XP with Erlang 5.6; when I do:<BR><BR>erl -name <A href="mailto:foobar@192.168.1.102">foobar@192.168.1.102</A><BR><BR>I get a popup box saying "erl.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." There are no other error messages. Has anyone else encountered this bug? Can anyone suggest how to workaround or diagnose the problem? Thanks. <BR><BR>Dave<BR><BR></DIV></DIV>
