Hi Stefan,
Further testing reveals a strange behavior in the debugger.
So, I am not sure where the problem is actually caused.
I added a new local variable block to the method.
block gets assigned aBlock (the parameter).
If I executed Erlang spawn: [Transcript show: 'foo'], the '1 halt.' is executed as I mentioned before.
However, the debugger does not allow me to access aBlock, there is a subscript out of bound exception.
Interestingly, 'block' is accessible without error.
If I now actually use 'block' instead of 'aBlock' in the executed block, then phenomena is reversed.
Thus, the variable which is actually referenced in the code is not accessible anymore but gets somehow lost. They also get lost if I use both.
I would still like to understand what is going on here.
So any remarks are welcome.
Thanks
Stefan
