[erlang-questions] Some mnesia oddity

Hi folks,

  We found a strange mnesia behavior here...

Some mnesia:write operations after a mnesia:delete_object seem to not have  
the expected result when executed in the same transaction.

See attached example file:
1 - We fill a test_table
2 - In the same transaction, we read all records, delete them, and write  
them back (do not ask why :))
3 - Surprise! Only a subset of them can be read afterwards

Same result in R11 and R12.

It works if the delete_object and write operations are in separate  
transactions... But who knows what can happen between them...

Can someone explain this?

Thanks,

-- Nicolas Thauvin
