Rational Team Concert 4.0.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The CR is related to Jazz.net WI 242064
  https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#act
  ion=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=242064
  
  To reproduce:
  - Using SCM CLI, load a project into a local sandbox
  - In Eclipse, edit that project's '.project' file - add a 'dash'
  character as the very first character in the file
  - Checkin & deliver
  - Accept the project change into the local sandbox: 'scm accept'
  
  In 3.0.1.3, the SCM CLI fails and dumps this stack trace:
  org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.

      Problem running 'accept':
      Update failed
  
  In 4.0.0.1, the 'scm accept' command also fails, but does not
  dump the stack trace.
  
  Simply loading the bad .project file 'scm load ...' succeeds -
  only 'accept' fails.
