Hi,
I've two threads countinuously updataing rows in the same table.
Each one does: BEGIN, UPDATE,UPDATE,,,,COMMIT
There can't be two active transactions updating the same row (my bug apart
but I don't think so).
I'm using default_transaction_isolation = 'serializable'
I get "could not serialize access due to read/write dependencies among
transactions"
I din't expect to see it, hence there must be something  in postgresql
theory that I haven't understood well and I'd like a clarification.

Below here a log of commands issued by my threads followed by the error msg
from PG server.

Thanks
Pupillo
