[elephant-devel] strange bug related to psets

[Ian Eslick]

Also which version of the elephant tree?  This may be fixed on  
unstable - there was quite a bit of general cleanup as I made the  
schema changes.  Today, psets are just a wrapper around btrees -  
anyone tried to reproduce this using straight btrees instead of psets?
