Hi,

I've just updated to the latest version (to get the fix for the NullPointerException with some phrase queries) and now I'm having
problems with document deletion. I'm trying to delete a document using delete(Term) and I'm getting an IOException:

java.io.IOException: Index locked for write: Lock@E:\temp\index\write.lock
at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.delete(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentsReader.doDelete(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.delete(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.delete(Unknown Source)
(...)

Here's what I'm doing:
IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(index);
reader.delete(new Term("fileid", id));
reader.close();

I've taken a look at the sources but couldn't find anything wrong. Any ideas?
BTW, when performing this deletion there's no index writer opened; I assume the writer lock is being created by the IndexReader when
executing delete(numDoc).

TIA

Regards,

--Daniel
