[Stalled]

* dc/update-INSTALL-WIN32.md (otp) (2010-09-19) 1 commit
 - Doc update to latest dependencies & how to compile with free VS2008 Express (8e8061c)

Waiting for an update by the topic author.

* jn/gen_stream (stdlib) (2010-09-05) 5 commits
 - Use erlang:process_info(Pid, links) to determine if gen_stream managed worker processes are leaked (b2386df)
 - Move gen_stream internal process test to after termination of gen_stream parent (f1d8a97)

This topic branch has a failing test case:

shell_SUITE:start_restricted_from_shell;
    We have now tested with and without this topic branch and when
    it is present that test case fails. We consider it proved
    to be guilty. The test case does not fail when run standalone
    so it seems to be tricky... Also, some of its own test cases
    fail sporadicly.

Action expected from: Topic author.

 - Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3) (4945add)

Approved in principle by the OTP Technical Board; now awaits a closer
review of the implementation.

Action expected from: Björn Gustavsson (the reviewer)

* sf/erts_de_busy_limit (erts) (2010-10-22) 1 commit
 - Add flag-based setting for 'erts_de_busy_limit' constant (e3da5a0)

This topic branch has multiple issues described in this email:

http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:1303:201008:ldciadjdmjednikemjch

Action expected from: Topic author.
