I believe it only happens on Ubuntu Feisty. I think someone told me  
this. We haven't found a workaround, though.

What OS do you run?

I have yet to write the more interesting article :-). It will begin  
like this...

"Bowing to the OTP application packaging procedure, I wanted to have  
a way of upgrading applications with a "push of a button". More  
precisely, I wanted to be able to type make:all() to rebuild my  
application and then type sync:all() to push updated modules to all  
nodes in my cluster."

Yes, that also involves Amazon and EC2 but is applicable to any other  
scenario.
