ets:to_dets/2 hanging

[Vance Shipley]

In using ets:to_dets/2 to create persistent copies of some tables
I was using for tests I discovered a problem.  It seems that if I
create a table which is larger than 2MB the function ets:to_dets/2
will loop forever.

-module(t).
-export([new/1]).

new(Size) ->
        Tid = ets:new(foo, []),
        fill(Tid, Size).

fill(Tid, 0) -> Tid;
fill(Tid, Size) ->
        ets:insert(Tid, {Size, <<0:512>>}),
        fill(Tid, (Size - 1)).

This would appear to be a bug.
