Seems like a bug: ets:info/1 returns a tuple of the form { {K,V},{K2,V2},.. } instead of doing what the doc says: returning a list of the k-v pairs. 98> T = ets:new(bogus, [set, private]). 63 99> ets:info(T). {{memory,276}, {owner,<0.343.0>}, {name,bogus}, {size,0}, {node,nonode@REDACTED}, {named_table,false}, {type,set}, {keypos,1}, {protection,private}} - Willem
