mnemosyne:string_to_handle pb !

[Ulf Wiger]

I cannot help you with the exact problem, except to say that 
the following construct is _much_ more efficient:

mnesia_transaction(
   fun() ->
      P = mnesia:table_info(jabber_personne, wild_pattern),
      mnesia:match_object(P#jabber_personne{age = 22})
   end).

Basically, mnemosyne should be avoided for all queries, unless
you really need the cursor support, or you have very complex queries.
