Does this make any sense to you? It looks like it's reading

Bingo, there's the problem. It looks like Erlang's code loader
wasn't prepared for double-digit minor versions, and it considers
0.9.* as newer than 0.1* (including 0.10 and 0.11).
This may be a serious problem for the 0.10 release, as anyone who
upgrades from 0.9.x to 0.10.0 using the same install prefix may end
up with a crash. Thanks again,
We had this popping up on IRC today, again. I agree this is serious.
Is there anything we can do on install time that checks for older
versions?
Cheers
