Maybe Borland sees it as a feature. :-)
Seriously, the problem is that when a bug is closed, there are several drop
downs to change. Sometimes one makes mistakes. It might be the case that
when this issue was logged, it was bad categorized. Otherwise, it may be a
copy/paste problem in the release notes. Anyway, Borland patched it after
us, too. It was discovered by Dmitry Kuzmenko.

I just had to log in to see ALL drop downs and indeed, the GROUP one says:
Feature - Added v1.0
and resolution = None

I checked my 0.95 build and at that old time it was already fixed, so I
changed the classification just for documentation purposes:
Group = Fixed v0.95 / Resolution = Fixed
This won't map to the release notes automagically, however. To be honest, I
tried to change it, but SF returns an error with any explanation, so Sean
will have to change these two items. SF bug tracker itself has a couple of
mysterious bugs.

Since Borland had shipped v4, v5 and v6 with a built-in UDF that was
specifically engineered to destroy a database even in the commercially
public releases (you only had to declare it to use it), when I saw this bug
I thought it was kinda crash test for debugging purposes, but there was no
comment in the source code, so I concluded it was a simple oversight.

I also noticed that this is not closed:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=518273&group_id=9028&atid=10
9028
although from a practical stanpoint, it's closed and solved in FB1.
We really need more people helping than requesting. It's not necessary to be
a coder to donate some hours.
