thanks, and a question

One thing is driving me nuts: the area_server implementation used as part of the OTP example is supposed to have a bug in it, relating to getting the area of a rectangle. But I can’t find it, and when I downloaded the code and tried it out, it seemed to actually work. Did it get “fixed” during publication? thanks, dave
