In the add MARC record interface, repeated subfields from subject headings
(imported from authorities) are being added to one subfield field, separated by
a pipe, rather than being distributed to multiple subfields.  In addition,
these subfields are being placed in an arbitrary order, rather than the order
in which they appear in the authority record.

For instance, adding the subject "a$United States $xHistory $yCivil War,
1861-1865 $xCampaigns $vPictorial works" is instead entered into the new MARC
record as "a$United States $vPictorial works $xHistory|Campaigns $yCivil War,
1861-1865."

Our catalogers also report that records imported from Z39.50 exhibit the same
behavior if their subject fields contain repeated subfields.

We're running 3.00.05.001 (on Debian Lenny), but I was able to duplicate the
bug on http://staff.kohademo.esilibrary.com, which is running 3.01.00.143
(HEAD?), so this bug is probably present in 3.2 as well.
