[comp.sys.apollo] Bug in registry merge command

weiner@novavax.UUCP (Bob Weiner) (09/02/89)

After using a network with an SR9.7 registry and an SR10 registry for
six months, we decided to merge the two into a writable SR10 registry.
The process failed miserably, even wiped out our SR10 registry once.
Then Apollo tells us there is a bug in the registry merge command.

Shouldn't they have known about this before August 1989?  Haven't people
around the world tried to do this already and run into problems?  We
spent a week on this before anyone from Apollo (an SE was helping) was
able to tell about the bug.  Does anyone know the story?
