Thanks, I will look at it.

Sorry for the delay, I was working on a different project. Found the issue. hopefully I can fix and publish it soon.

Notes to self (maybe write one ticket for each?):

• The debugger code for v19 and v20 is wrong, calls removed module sys_pre_expand; probably modified while applying the erlide-specific patches, and never tested properly
• Split the debuggers into separate plugins, and not rebuild/publish them every time. This will probably make the process of building and publishing easier (no need to always have installed all supported versions of Erlang).
• Add debugger for v21
• Review the erlide patches: can we make their application more secure? Document the procedure.
• There are many parts of the kernel that aren't automatically tested, think if it's possible to do that. Simple smokescreen tests would be good too.

@jesperes I know you are interested in the debugger, you might want to keep an eye on this ticket and comment.
