There was a hang in the global name registration that we experienced a while back. When I looked it up online at the time, there was a website that identified the problem and had a workaround for it. It was run by Erlang-Solutions(.com), but the web page I saw before is not there any more (http://www.trapexit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=47938). It said to look up the system's global locks:<BR>
<BR>
[{ResourceId, LockReqId, PidRefs}] = ets:lookup(global_locks, global).<BR>
[X,Y] = LockReqId.<BR>
node(X).<BR>
node(Y).<BR>
<BR>
And then to remove it. That got the Erlang VM to work again, but we never figured out what caused it to hang up in the first place. Since then, we upgraded to the latest version of Erlang and did not worry about this problem until it just happened again the other day with Erlang version R15B. When I attached to the Erlang VM and issued the command "global:sync()", it hung for a very long time before I finally killed the VM. Are you guys aware of any such problem? Are we doing something wrong that is causing this problem? Thanks for the help.<BR>
