I assume I should have gotten an error on the use command since the k_seqno index does not exist. Worse, the index is set to the wrong field. This just cost me a few hours of hair pulling.

I have ead the whole thread, and I must agree with Fabio that this is not a bug. However, if you rally want an error to be triggered for a missing index tag, you can use this syntax

use bsmemo order ("k_seqno")
