[Jared Camins-Esakov]

Marcel,

Please have a look at the report and patch.****

I am very uncomfortable with this patch. Relator terms (subfield $e) should
not be filled in in MARC21 authorities, but should be used in controlled
headings in bibliographic records. I commented on the bug to this effect,
but Janusz hasn't had a chance to respond yet.

Regards,
Jared
