 Check out the git tag OTP-19.1.6, and build a full OTP system
 including documentation. Apply one or more applications from this
 build as patches to your installation using the 'otp_patch_apply'
 tool. For information on install requirements, see descriptions for
 each application version below.

 --- erts-8.1.1 ------------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The erts-8.1.1 application can *not* be applied independently
       of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 19 installation.

       On a full OTP 19 installation, also the following runtime
       dependency has to be satisfied:
       -- sasl-3.0.1 (first satisfied in OTP 19.1)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-13956    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERL-133, ERL-262

               The emulator got a dynamic library dependency towards
               libsctp, which on Linux was not intended since the
               emulator there loads and resolves the needed sctp
               functions in runtime. This has been fixed and a
               configure switch --enable-sctp=lib has been added for
               those who want such a library dependency.


  OTP-13997    Application(s): erts

               Fix SIGUSR1 crashdump generation

               Do not generate a core when a crashdump is asked for.


  OTP-14009    Application(s): erts

               The new functions in code that allows loading of many
               modules at once had a performance problem. While
               executing a helper function in the erl_prim_loader
               process, garbage messages were produced. The garbages
               messages were ignored and ultimately discarded, but
               there would be a negative impact on performance and
               memory usage. The number of garbage message depended on
               both the number of modules to be loaded and the length
               of the code path.

               The functions affected of this problem were:
               atomic_load/1, ensure_modules_loaded/1, and
               prepare_loading/1.
