[erlang-questions] ibrowse compile error

[Kenneth Lundin]

You can post the bug report preferably on the erlang-bugs mailing list
but then you must provide
more detailed info where you point at the actual error in the code or
even provide a patch.
Another option is to provide a minimal program example which shows the
bug when run.
