I've got a file stored in VSS named ".project".  When I pull up its
history in the VSS Explorer, the details of the most recent item
shows:

Version: 101
Date: 10/19/04 8:02a
Label: dev_041019

Now this is interesting because the history dialog says there are only
42 items (including labels).  So, in the details dialog, I click
"previous" to go to the preceeding item:

Version: 5
Date: 6/17/04 9:39a
Label:

Version 5 sounds more realistic considering how few changes have been
made to this file since it was born.  Now, I click "next" to go back
to the most recent item and would expect to see what I showed above
with version 101, but, instead I see:

Version: 5
Date: 6/17/04 9:39a
Label:

So the most recent item started as version 101, but when I did
"previous" and then "next" which shoudl be a zero-sum operation, the
version is magically 5 instead of 101.  In fact, the date and label
are also changed.  In reality, all of that data is not updated in the
dialog.

Now, I can repeat this by starting by clicking "details" on any item
in the list (i.e. the second most recent says version 99, I click
previous/next and then it says 5).

I'm guessing this is a bug.  But this is a bug that wreaks havoc.  I'm
using a plugin to VSS from our IDE, and when you try to do a "diff",
it gets a "Version not found" error because it's trying to find
version 101.  And even though VSS Explorer momentarily shows version
101, it seems to be a fleeting meory because even it can't find it.

Anybody have a clue as to what is going on?
