But the real problem is that the version from debian Squeeze
is _unusable_ as it has multiple exploits in core parts and multiple
silent data corruption bugs.

So R14A should NOT be used by anyone, as it is a BETA version
of the erlang VM, so clearly the worst target for a long-term
stable release such as Squeeze.

The only real solution would be to include R14B0x in every
Debian security upgrade of Squeeze.
Yea the problem remains with those incompatible changes...

Including R14B02 in squeeze-backports would be a good start to
see which erlang software from squeeze has problems with R14B02
and as a strongly encouraged version to use for most users.
