Hi Gail Badner, a self-contained demo is available in HHH-10562.zip, it's runnable with mvn clean test.

I've found out a few additional things while preparing this test case:

• Things only go bad after evict-ing the delete-d entities. Please check my System.out.println() lines.
• It's not just the head and tail variables that are wrong. The count variable is wrong too: it's less than expected (negative, in fact). So this simplified test case throws a NegativeArraySizeException before it could throw the NullPointerException mentioned above.

Hi Philipp Nanz, I don't think your issue is the same as this one: my lazy list is fetched just fine.
