the system remain unchanged until I fully explore the problem space.

Ok?

So, while you're looking at that can I go ahead and try adding the mdates
for these two baboons to babase_test so I can see if there are any more
glitches for their two groups?  For that matter, if you want to try telling
it to automatically update the mdates later, can I go ahead and upload the
2007 sexskins to babase if everything works after adding in these mdates?
We know of at least one other case where a pregnancy was entered and then
deleted in 2008 (and we are not ready to enter 2008 sexskins yet) - NOB (cid
28763 has no mdate), so she could be used as a test case to see if babase
does then generate the mdate now that the pregnancy is removed.

Sound good?

Thanks,
