Very strange bug

[Vladimir Sekissov]

Good day,

robert.virding> One questio I have if it is the SAME module file? You don't give all
robert.virding> the module info for the second time. Yaws might load a new file. I
robert.virding> don't know why though. If they do write to klacke. 

Yes, it is the same module file. As I mentioned the problem doesn't
appear if sasl has been booted before yaws.

Best Regards,
Vladimir Sekissov
