This problem has only been reproduced on a specific database. Details
follow for information.
1. Get a good copy of the heart database (Use the 12/29 zip of St.
Thomas and export/import to get a clean database). Bring up Master and
establish a session to the Heart database via Master.
2. PREAD in the attached file to the heartbase database (secondprob.pwr).
It will create 2 families, TEST and INDEXES. Copy the attached file
mr.lis to the Startin directory.
3. Run Indexes.drop to get rid of any secondary indices.
4. Run Indexes.define to create the secondary indices.
5. Run TEST.PTADD - This will add new patients.
6. Run TEST.LISTPTin - This will navigate thru the secondary indices and
produce a listing in alphabetical order. This pass should look 'Normal'.
7. Repeat step 5 a couple of times.
8. Run TEST.LISTPTin - This run will not look 'Normal'. You will see
repeats of last names A thru D followed by some very strange data. The
run may have to be terminated due to an infinite loop. Anyway, it is
pretty obvious that there is a messed up secondary index.
