In the following scenario list_to_existing_atom/1 may crash
during handshake:
Start a node in one window:
erl -sname adam@localhost
Start another node in another window:
erl -sname bertil
In this node, ping the first node (use the actual hostname
in the command):
net:ping(adam@hostname).
There will be an error report similar to:
=ERROR REPORT==== 27-May-2010::15:03:14 ===
Error in process <0.40.0> on node 'bertil@hostname' with exit value: {badarg,[{erlang,list_to_existing_atom,
["adam@localhost"]},{dist_util,recv_challenge,1},{dist_util,handshake_we_started,1}]}
Eliminate the crash and the error report by catching the call to
list_to_existing_atom/1 and do a clean shutdown if it fails.
