[erlang-questions] [erl -name] crashes on vista

[gerold kathan]

Hej,
i am running into problems when trying to register a an erlang node via 'erl
-name myname' command 
* the problem only occurs under ms vista (I already run my shell with admin
rights)
* it works fine on another xp box
* I tried with RB12 and R11B
* error message I get looks like the following


Thänx and greetings from vienna,
Cactus.
