Two clarifications:

   1. I am using version 1.3.176.
   2. This behavior contradicts the 
   documentation: http://www.h2database.com/html/datatypes.html#bigint_type

Please also take this opportunity to clarify the difference between 
IDENTITY and BIGINT in the documentation. As far as I understand it, 
IDENTITY is equivalent to "BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY" but it's not 
clear if there are any other differences. For example, the documentation 
reads "Used values are never re-used, even when the transaction is rolled 
back" for IDENTITY but not for BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT so it's not clear if 
there is some magic under the hood.
