Erlang server:start()

[Chris Goffinet]

Hi

I know from the docs it was mentioned that most of the erlang work  
isn't exactly standard from typical erlang apps. I was wondering if  
anyone has noticed the behavior I am seeing. When I compile, and pass  
the erl -s server flag, erlang shell starts and the following is  
outputted:

thrift service listening on port 9999

But its technically not listening because:

=CRASH REPORT==== 21-Jul-2008::15:57:47 ===
  crasher:
    pid: <0.91.0>
    registered_name: []
    exception exit: {error,closed}
      in function  thrift_socket_server:acceptor_loop/1
    initial call:  
thrift_socket_server:acceptor_loop({<0.90.0>,#Port<0.180>,
                                                       
topics_thrift,server,
                                                      [{recv_timeout, 
500}]})

But it works just fine when calling server:start() from shell without - 
s server :)
