Yeah, this was a gcc4 thing, I've done most of my testing on gcc3 so it
didn't show up for me. Thanks to MikeJ for the fix suggestion.

You don't have the erlang port mapper daemon running (epmd).
mod_erlang_event needs it to be running in order to be able to register
itself as an erlang node. On your system; epmd isn't in $PATH so my
system() call that tries to start it fails. I've made the module init
system fail properly instead of looping indefinitely as well as print a
slightly more helpful error message now. Let me know if you have any
better luck :) The fix is in-tree as of r12192.

Thanks again for the bug report.
