[erlang-questions] Bug in trapexit article "How to use ei ..."

[Serge Aleynikov]

Thanks.  Not bad for the Sun 10pm code review.  ;-)

Note that while this code is quite primitive, where it's purpose is to 
show a simple concept, if you need a more convenient C++ wrapper around 
ei, you can look at ei++ in this project:
http://code.google.com/p/erlexec/source/browse/branches/auto/c_src/ei%2B%2B.h

Currently ei::Serializer only has support for marshaling basic types 
(int, double, string, atom), but it's more convenient for a C++ user 
then plain ei.
