Linking problems...

Sometime today, there was a patch applied to the servers that caused serious breakage in one of my scripts.

What I have is a parent prim (llGetLinkNumber() == 1) that will detach itself from the group... For some reason, this causes the ENTIRE group to split, and I have no idea why.

I assume that it worked correctly prior to the server being patched? And that you didn't change anything else in the script?

Does it still happen if you attempt to delink a child object, or just the parent?

Strangely enough, I found the source of the problem. It's a very strange bug that involves performing an llMessageLinked to a primitive that is not in the group, and then delinking the system.

Assuming you have a group of 5 prims, if you did:

llMessageLinked(8, 0, "", "";);
llBreakLink(3);

It would detach all the primitives from the group.

I don't know WHY this happens.
