[erlang-questions] SASL problem

[Matti Oinas]

One possible cause for these problems are characters in file that arent 
visible but are there and they mess up the actual command. I have 
experienced similar problems with shell scripts and usually there is 
\r\n line change (someone edited the file using some windows edirot and 
uploaded it into server) or some UTF-8 character that isn't visible in 
editor. You can check if these are the problem by checking the file with 
hexdump or similar tool.
