[Neo4j] InvalidRecordException exception

[rick.bullotta at burningskysoftware.com]

   Hi, Johan.

   Is this related to the patch you provided me for a similar issue?  I
   had thought it made it into the milestone release(s).

   Thanks,

   Rick

   This will still happen in the 1.2.M05 release. I just wanted to make
   sure I linked the stacktrace's line numbers to the right part of the
   code since that exception being thrown at a different place in the
   delete method could mean there are other problems.

   transactions running delete on the same relationship. If two
   transactions get a reference to the same relationship and concurrently
   delete that relationship it is possible for a InvalidRecordException to
   be thrown instead of a NotFoundException since the write lock is
   grabbed after the relationship has been verified to exist.
