Crashes on new tzinfo? about tzdata

[lau]

@Nicd & @MiLk the just released version 0.5.13 should fix the problem with ** (ArgumentError) argument error (stdlib) :ets.new(:tzdata_rel_2017c, [:set, :named_table])

[MiLk]

We are experiencing the same issue.
It seems Tzdata.ReleaseUpdater is trying to create an ets table, but the table is already present and owned by Tzdata.EtsHolder.

I 'was' experiencing the same thing for many days, but it seems to have stopped and is updating properly now without ever rebooting the server or anything... o.O?

[lau]

Are you both using Timex? Is this happening during starting Timex / or you app? Or during compilation?

[jyurek]

We're using Timex, yes. This happens while the app is running and (typically) has been running for a while.

[OvermindDL1]

Yeah it happened just during the daily updates, the server had been up for weeks without restart, then all of a sudden it was working again after a few many days of it not working. Been fine since, but definitely odd that it happened.

I just got this on two different machines with tzdata 0.5.12:
