Hmm.

Yes.  You can, actually.  I do it everyday.  I am stumped on this one.

I have had this happen on occassion.  I have never really figured out what
causes old instances to dissapear like that.  I think it happened when I
called reindex_object on something directly though.  I would chuck this
into the Collector.  Or better yet, check out a CVS version or 2.2.0b1
download and try the same forms there.  Just copy you Data.fs over and see
if the Catalog acts the same.  Michel P. may have fixed this already.
