[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ seems to crash Snow Leopard

Mon Apr 19 15:32:15 BST 2010

This is a known problem for Erlang on Mac OS X.

I see the same thing happening with our Zotonic CMS/framework.
Seems to be related with kernel polling and the crypto app.

I am using Erlang 13B03 and Mac OS X 10.6.3
