Good.

well, you may just run 'erl' and see what it says.

Looks normal.

Good. That means your particular 1und1 instance is somewhat different.
I'm not able to help much more. It may be something with erlang
(maybe a broken compliation?), it may be something with limits.

I'm afraid you have to figure out the anomaly yourself, in theory it
could be just anything. It doesn't look like a rabbit problem, more
likely an operating system or erlang issue.
