Probably means that you sent some badly formated data.

doing binary_to_term on the data (skipping 112, 131 is the magic for  
external format) gives
you
	 {6,<5806.1796.0>,'',enodereceiver}

6 is the the distribution op called DOP_REG_SEND.

	The above says send ??? to registered process enodereceiver from pid  
<5806.1796.0>
           with the nowadays not used cookie ''. In other words the  
message is missing!
There is also an extra byte 112 form somewhere else ...

Hope it helps you to track the problem
