Description David Lawrence 2001-03-20 15:29:35 UTC 
When creating a new product, you cannot got back to the query page and add
components to the new product because the query page breaks with an error
message.

Software error:
Can't use string ("") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at
globals.pl line 502.

Need to figure out a way to add a component to a product with out
components.

One possibility is to have GenerateVersionTable to skip component lists
that do not have one or more components from the versioncache file.

Commented out the following code and it seems to have fixed the problem. For
some reason they had it where if the array was empty it would create the
variable as a scalar. Well this breaks in enter_bug.cgi and query.cgi because it
expects it to be a array reference.

#    foreach my $i (@list) {
#        if (!defined $::components{$i}) {
#            $::components{$i} = "";
#        }
#    }
