	Hello,

	I have two questions about the C linked-in port drivers:

1. What is the difference between -lerl_interface_st -lei_st and
the versions without "_st" ?

2. With R10B-9 (R10B-8 also), I use the erl_* and ei_* functions
to encode/decode terms on the C side. As per the documentation,
I use:

	/* Initialize erl_interface.
	 * XXX erl_init seems to block indefinitly. */
	erl_init_malloc(NULL, 0);

But, as the comment says, erl_init() blocks when initializing the
driver. A workaround we found was to replace erl_init with:

	erl_init_marshal();
	ei_init_resolve();

and it works just fine. Any suggestion ?

	Thanks in advance,
