--- Comment #10 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
This behaviour has remained unchanged since introduction of the feature, I
think  at this point any change is more an enhancement than a major bug. 

The feature pre-dates the ability to allow multiple holds on a record and it's
worth re-thinking this situation and also the item level holds one.

There are several things at play here, but it seems to me like the real
question is if the items are identical or not. That's not easy to tell. One
solution could be the hold level:

* If item level holds are allowed, don't allow a hold on the item already
checked out to me, but on others.
* If no item level holds are allowed, don't allow a hold if any item is already
checked out to me.

We could use number of holds allowed... but it makes things a bit more
complicated for what Christopher said: with a setting of 1 hold allowed, should
the already checked out item count? We'd mix number of allowed holds with the
checkouts. That does not feel quite right. 

I think the question here is not if the max allowed holds is reached, but if
you have the item in question at home already or not.
