Still no luck figuring out what is going on with this machine.

Can someone advise me on how to get erlang to do a debug trace of some sort?
I have zero experience with erlang programming and would rather not delve into
it at this time.

That said, the lack of any kind of useful error is driving me nuts.

Some additional information surrounding this issue:
