Re: Auto Increment Primary Key - Reuse of Primary Key?

Generally auto_increment does not re-use values, with a crucial exception: since its inception, InnoDB had had this serious bug: on a server restart, the INNODB auto_increment counter resets to the next available value, so higher deleted key values will be re-used, and that can create foreign key mayhem.

You don't mention a server restart between those two client inserts. Was there?
If not, let's see the SQL that created the anomaly.
