A response to a client's bug report

(May 15th, 2006 - 5:04PM)

One of my fine clients e-mailed and informed me that her system was down. I investigated and fixed the problem. Here was my e-mail response.

Hey gals,

I found the problem. The title with key 1658 ("v.41 pgs.613-1222/British Columbia Gazette Pt. II") had itself set as its own parent. So the record was being considered a volume within itself. In both software and the real world, it is generally difficult to put something inside itself. If you did this in the real world, it could make the universe implode. It turns out that putting a volume inside itself using WebGENCAT makes the system implode too!

I fixed the problem, but please take a look at the journal mentioned above. In particular, you'll want to make sure that the journal/volume/issue hierarchy is correct.
