I have reproduced this.
I'll upgrade to 8.2.4 and report back after my long weekend.
Cheers.

Understood, I'll try an upgrade after my repeat tests have finished.

There is the possibility of other threads inserting into the same table, but wouldn't that be a problem according to my understanding of MVCC. There are no LOCK TABLE statements on this table.
I can't think of any programs which would be locking the files (antivirus or other), but I'll have a look.

Interesting, I'll pass that on.

I'm running the tests again with 8.2.3 to get an idea.
Cheers for the help!
