Yes. It occurs in `recvChallengeAck', at the point when OtpConnection has
sent its "challenge" and tries to read something back, but apparently gets
a short read, which is turned into a "Peer authentication error.". What
this implies is beyond me, since I don't know the protocol.

Well, that's exactly the documentation example, which is also what I'm
already doing, unless the cookie is wrong, but it is supposed to be just
the string corresponding to the atom that the node uses as its cookie, as
seen in `erlang:get_cookie()', right? I mean, I am able to get another
Erlang node to talk to the first node by explicitly setting its cookie to
the same value, so I don't see why I can't make it work for Jinterface.

Did that. Even inserted some print statements in the Java code and
recompiled to see what was going on.
