Hm. Strange. I do really complex commits, sometimes 7 or more related
records (I mean 7 levels of relationship, not seven entities),
related by many-to-many many-to-one relationships and never get those
problems. And it doesn't matter if the records are new or old. Could
you describe how you are creating objects and how do you commit them ?
