Here is a patch for .../lib/os_mon/c_src/memsup.c
this will allow compilation of Erlang 5.3 on OpenBSD to continue without a 
hitch.  I think it is a good patch and hope the Erlang folks will include it in
their RC10B release so I don't have to repatch it.

There is still a problem with installing the man pages at the end though.

Sorry, it did not make it. The R10B release started building yesterday.
It should make it into the first minor release, though.

Subject: [DOC BUG] html.html in 10B jinterface_users_guide.html
Message-ID: <200410162222.23185.erik.pearson@comcast.net>


I've been wanting to try out Jinterface in some java projects,
so while I was going through the downloaded html pages I noticed
a bug.

Jinterface_users_guide.html has many references to files ending
in "*.html.html".  These links cannot be resolved and you'll get
an error in the browser.

I.E., line 17:

  <A HREF="java/com/ericsson/otp/erlang/package-summary.html.html">

Doing a global sed on the file seemed to fix it.

Thanks for the great work on the 10B release.

Hi!

I got the following error today:

Then I copied roster.DAT from working DB, repaired it and tried to do
dets:lookup on this key, but it returned empty result.  After that I ran the
following command 3 times and got 3 different results:

{error,{bad_object,"/opt/jabber/server/ejabberd/src/Mnesia.ejabberd@REDACTED/roster.DAT"}}

After that all requests to roster table return the last error, and after
restarting this error is unreproduceable.

Erlang version is R10B.

Hi,

erl_syntax in R10B is not erl_parse compatible for 'try' expressions.

erl_syntax thinks a 'try' is {'try', Pos, Body, Claues, Handlers}, but
in erl_parse try is {'try', Pos, Body, Clause, Handlers, AfterExprs}
(see erl_parse.yrl:build_try)

Also, within erl_syntax.erl itself, the Body in the 'try' expression
is sometimes [synatx_tree()] and sometimes just syntax_tree(), which
makes it crash.

This makes distel:who_calls fail.

I've patched my local erl_syntax.erl to handle this, but that fix is
extremely ad-hoc.

Thanks for the details. I know I haven't had time to update the
syntax tools for R10. I hope it will be done at least until R10-2.
(Right now I'm working on exception handling in HiPE for R10-1.)
