Error description

• Headline:
  Rhapsody crashes when loading Activity Diagram, due to illegal
  characters/values in unit file(s).
  Abstract:
  Attempts to load an Activity Diagram, either by double-clicking
  on it or placing the mouse pointer over it, results in a crash.
  Description:
  It has been observed that When trying to open/view an Activity
  Diagram, whose unit information contains illegal
  characters/values (say for the m_transform entry); Rhapsody
  crashes without and informatory message. Neither does Rhapsody
  perform any check on such corrupt information, prior to  loading
  the model / unit / diagram.
  The problem is due to the presence of '+e' characters in the
  m_transform value (in Default.sbs) for the join connector in the
  activity diagram.
  Workaround:
  Delete the '+e' characters in the m_transform value, save the
  file.
