The process that owns the ets table has died.  Try this:

% erl -eval 'spawn (fun () -> ets:new (some_table_name, [ named_table ]),
receive after infinity -> ok end end)'
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [smp:2] [async-threads:0]
[kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.6.5  (abort with ^G)
1> ets:lookup (some_table_name, 1).
[]

-- p
