Eliminate run-time system crash in code:load_abs/1
The run-time system would terminate if code:load_abs/1 was called with a filename containing any non-latin1 characters. The reason is that code_server would attempt to construct a module name from the filename using list_to_atom/1 and that atoms currently are limited to the latin1 character set. But how should the error be reported? I have decided to that the simplest and least confusing way is to move the call to list_to_atom/1 to 'code' module and let it crash the calling process. The resulting stack back trace will make it clear what the reason for the crash was.
