patch to mnesia

[Hakan Mattsson]

These two errors has been fixed in Mnesia 3.9.2
(now available in Erlang/OTP R7A). But thanks
anyway for your debugging effort!

PS.

   The external textfile format is not intended to be used
   in real products. Please, follow the advice in the Mnesia
   man-page:

	"Only use this function for educational purposes.
        Use other functions to deal with real backups."
