[erlang-questions] Erlang Core problem with Erlang < R12B

[Elliot Murphy]

I can't answer your question directly, but I can give you a hint about
how to see more clearly what is different between the releases.

You can get a bazaar branch of erlang by running this command with a
recent version of bzr:
bzr get lp:erlang

Once you have that, you can easily generate diffs between the
different releases - whether for the whole tree or just certain files.
To give you an idea about the amount of change between R11B-5 and
R12B-0, here is the diffstat:

 2291 files changed, 519018 insertions(+), 266944 deletions(-)
