That is correct. Wings3D crashes with Erlang > 20.0.1, but they will release a patch soon: http://www.wings3d.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2591

Instead of lettings Wings3D hold back Erlang for too long, this was the solution.

Adding an old Erlang package with a name like "erlang20.0", just for Wings3D, is a possibility.

Added `erlang200` specifically for Wings. Will remove it once Wings works with the latest version of Erlang again.

This should be fixed in Erlang 20.2 which includes https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/823cab1ec24af0235195b14ee66a8642e4913699

I didn't actually test to confirm but I'm 99% sure that's the fix. (EDIT: Just tried it and it's fixed in Erlang 20.2.)

Wings3D crashed here when testing with Erlang 20.2. Will test again.

Wings3D works with Erlang 20.2 on the machine I'm testing on now. Updated Wings3D to use the latest version of Erlang and removed the erlang200 package. Thanks, Evangelos.
