One OPAC Bug Unmasked

Well, as I'm sure most of you know, we've been plagued by OPAC bugs for a while, and the folks at the server site are as stumped as we are. But, we have had one small ray of light peek through. The bug that causes the Item Status to display as "No Information Available" has been isolated. It is an issue with the current version of WebVoyage, and Ex Libris has been made aware of it. Apparently, it only occurs when you have exactly 15 unsuppressed holdings records (MFHDs) attached to one bib. Click on the image below for an example. (You'll just see one MFHD in this .jpg, not all 15.)


I imagine that this doesn't happen very often, but if you see it, please drop me a line and I'll patch on bubble gum and bailing wire in the back end to make it look purty in the OPAC. And, as always, thanks for your patience.
