'
When the data base is dumped during a MAKEFILE (SAVEDBFLG = YES) the'
data in the data base file is the date of the OLD file (not the one just'
made.)  This means the next LOAD (with LOADDBFLG = YES) will NOT load'
the data base file since it thinks it is old.  What has to be done is'
first MAKEFILE file file, reLOAD it and then DUMPDB.'
'
In my project we deal with 25+ source files they take over an hour to'
analyze if we cannot save this information with SAVEDBFLG = YES.  I am'
surprised that this bug hasn''t been encountered before.'

'
P.S. My project and I consider this a pretty serious bug and I would'
like the source to fix myself if this will not be fixed in the near'
(i.e. this week) future.  Thanks.'
