[erlang-questions] emacs tool and the -smp erlang option

Hi, try

    (setq inferior-erlang-machine-options '("-smp"))

instead! The defvar special form sets a variable only
if it is undefined, while setq sets the variable regardless.
Thus, defvar is useful if you want to define a default value
and you can override it using setq in e.g your .emacs.
