Description Craig Conover 2007-08-27 19:57:45 UTC 
Somehow, a generalization relationship was created to a null element. These relationships should be ignored as "junk"
which is result of some other root cause not in the reporting module.
Comment 1 Craig Conover 2007-08-27 20:00:08 UTC 
Added defensive code to ignore null superclass references. Root cause (how the null relationship was created) is unknown.
Comment 2 Peter Lam 2007-08-28 06:57:43 UTC 
how do I create a generalization relationship to a null element to verify the fix of this bug?
Comment 3 Peter Lam 2007-08-28 07:44:59 UTC 
verified in build 070828-b2830 using the user provided project.
