Hi Paul!

Thank you for reporting this error.
It is now fixed and will be released in mnesia-4.4.3 (R12B-3).

Put the attached file in some directory in your code path
in order to get rid of the problem.

the attachment has a minimal demonstration.

this bug causes substantial problems trying to maintain the table going
forward since (as indicated in the attachment), manual maintainence of the
node pool list is also not possible once this occurs.  if we had not been
able to create a machine that had the same node name as the one removed,
i'm not quite sure how we would have navigated around this in our
production system, short of restore from backup.

i'm using mnesia-4.3.5 and erlang-otp r11b5.

thanks,
