[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] cataloging

[Hardy, Elaine]

Jason, 

It actually did. We have reported the searching problem with occasional records all along but were unable until recently to determine what was causing it. When Chris searched the database for records without a fingerprint, there were a number from the very beginning. The numbers accelerated after 1.4, however.

Though as far as I know, the bug doesn't exist in the 1.2 series of 
Evergreen, so I'm not sure.
