So this is waht happens:

the call to bt_cmd:bgetconfig is pushed onto the stack
since bgetconfig is tail-recursive, bgetconfig is popped, and
  ibgetconfig is pushed.
since ibgetconfig is tail-recursive, ibgetconfig is popped, but
  before config_file:parse_string is pushed, the error handler is
  invoked because config_file doesn't exist.


Interesting.

Maybe the check for config_file:parse_string/1 could be done before
ibgetconfig is popped.
