I can assure you, the author didn't intentionally write the bug ;-) That being said... tt will continue to be in there until build 26 which is the build it was fixed in. We made the decision to leave this bug in our source deliveries, as they exactly mirrour the state of our internal source.
We start to get into a dangerous/time-consuming game if I have to start patching up the source deliveries for known bugs. It also makes a headache for when we sync up the source-delivery gate with the ONNV gate if we've got special patches in it for the external community and not for the internal. cheers, steve Itaru Kitayama wrote: > Hi James. > I am wondering as to why this bug is included in the source. > We've seen this in the previous one too. > > Itaru > > On 10/8/05, James Lick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>I'm probably not the only one to trip across this problem, so I'm >>posting this so that others will learn from my mistakes.
