Reloading system modules

Today I found really weird issue - I watched some code in erlang.erl and looks like system updated its access time, sync reloaded it and I found apply function going to infinitive loop on each call, because apply is defined there as

apply(Mod, Name, Args) ->
    erlang:apply(Mod, Name, Args).

I'm not sure how to fix this, there could be more modules working is same way, and when they are reloaded by sync in background such mysterious things will happen.

Reloading happens at https://github.com/rustyio/sync/blob/master/src/sync_scanner.erl#L300. btw https://github.com/rustyio/sync/blob/master/src/sync_options.erl#L49 goes to infinitive loop too, there should be clause for filesystem root.

Hi Maxim,

Did my recommendation in IRC (to use the excluded_modules option) work?
