--- Comment #29 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
If I understand the code correctly, it assumes the the first $w contains a
valid biblionumber, with or without proper prefix. 

I think this assumption can't hold up.

At the moment, we expect in $w a number, that is also in 001 of a matching
record. Ideally with a 003 that has the matching prefix, but this is not
checked. So:

Analytic:
$w(MARCOrgCode)rcn

Host:
001 rcn
003 MARCOrgCode

Actually... we probably should also check 035, but that is a different issue:

035 (MARCOrgCode)rcn

In Koha there is no way to automatically enforce 001 = biblionumber. And if you
want to do it, it's tedious, as you have to save first to create the
biblionumber before you can enter it in 001. There is even a new feature for
Rancor, that allows you to create custom 001, that are not relating to
biblionumber at all.

The risk I see with this feature as is, is that the number from $w might
accidentally match a biblionumber. So we would create unwanted redirects. You
can't turn it off.
