Fragment not locked

[Stanislav Ledenev]

I've looked at the source code of Mnesia and it has this comment in
mnesia_frag.erl:
   %% Tried to move record to fragment that not is locked
   mnesia:abort({"add_frag: Fragment not locked", NewN})

But before this step all required locks are made.
Unfortunately I can't help you with this. Sorry. I hope  someone more
familiar with Mnesia's code will help you.
