- New ETS option compressed, to enable a more compact storage
  format at the expence of heavier table operations

- Multiple crashes and infinite loops fixed
- AES CTR encryption support in crypto
- erl_call: remove get_hostent

Changes in R14B (http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R14B.readme)

  receive queue for the process.
- The run_test script has been replaced by a program (with the
  same name) which can be executed without explicit installation
- eprof has been reimplemented with support in the Erlang
  virtual machine and is now both faster (i.e. slows down the
