[erlang-questions] Erlang OTP 18 memory leak / SSL

[Sereysethy TOUCH]

Hello,

One question, why did my application work fine on Erlang 17.5.x branch?

If I want to set this session_lifetime option, where should put it?

So there is no use that I should build the erlang 18 from maint branch?

Thanks,
Sethy
