I would recommend doing what you did:  Just report it to this list.

Perhaps the names Bjorn and Raimo are more appropriate here.  Until 
they are back from vacations, here is a solution to your problem.


Make the code look as follows and it will pass the compiler:

internal_rgb_to_hsv(R, G, B) ->
     Max = lists:max([R,G,B]),
     Min = lists:min([R,G,B]),
     V = Max,
     {Hue,Sat} = %% try
                     {if
                          Min == B -> (G-Min)/(R+G-2.0*Min);
                          Min == R -> (1.0+(B-Min)/(B+G-2.0*Min));
                          Min == G -> (2.0+(R-Min)/(B+R-2.0*Min))
                      end*120,(Max-Min)/Max}
                 %% catch
                 %%     error:badarith ->
                 %%         {undefined,0.0}
                 %% end
		 ,
     {Hue,Sat,V}.

Best,
