Starting an echo web server from (bash) shell!

[zabrane Mikael]

Hi list,

I'm facing a strange problem when trying to start my very basic echo
web server from (bash) shell.

It doesn't work when I try to run it from (bash) shell with an error
in "gen_tcp:accept/1" call:
$ erl -s bews


But it works fine when I run it from the Erlang shell:
$ erl
1> bews:start().

The server is simply listening on socket 8888 and echo back what it gets:
...
case catch gen_tcp:accept(ListenSocket) of
        {ok, Sock} ->
               ...
        _ ->
           exit({error,accept_failed})
end.

Any advices please?

N.B: I'm under OSX Snow Leopard, Erlang R14B (erts-5.8.1)
