Back in September of 2003, Sean Hinde identified a problem with Erlang
under Mac OS X. Could this patch be incorporated upstream so we don't
have to keep manually patching the sources?

Thanks,

Subject: OS X patch for run_erl.c
Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2003 18:35:17 +0100

Hi,

The following patch to run_erl.c is required for Erlang to run in
embedded mode under OS X. Without this patch run_erl fails to create
the pipe in /tmp

Hopefully this will make it into R9C-1, but in the meantime here it is
in case anyone else has encountered the problem and needs a fix now.

Regs,
Sean
