[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ seems to crash Snow Leopard

[Marc Worrell]

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

http://groups.google.com/group/erlang-programming/browse_thread/thread/e94213f0ec897129

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
