In fact MS did send this "fixed" file to some VFP users to test it.
I suppose they did aprove it, since the majos problem in the previous release was in the main index. Since the Index problem seemed to be Ok, I suspect the "testers" approved it. :-(
It would have been better if this had been released as a CTP or Beta...
But it is too late now.
