Ok... looks like I was hasty. The problem still seems fixed so far -
but my reasoning seems wrong.
It looks like the authentication request is contained within the
transaction - so I don't see why doing a select on a table within the
authentication function would cause problems. However adding a
session.rollback after that select seems to fix it...
Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on here?
Cheers,
Andrew
