Cover object errors in view_log

In the view_log:

Warning: Cover object jeeves:/lun1/vobs/nnmsc/nms3000.vbs:44c24f82.6f3311d2.a4fd.08:00:09:87:72:39 for 0x800010dc not found in VOB

Cause:

These errors found in the view_log are most often caused when a derived object that has been winked into view1 is rmdo'ed from the vob by view2. Directories being rmelem'ed from the vob can also have this effect.

A cover object is a "mask" in the view that is used to modify what a vob-object looks like. If the vob-object goes away and the view's cover-object is accessed, a warning is issued because the vob object can no longer be found.

Resolution:

Be careful not to delete shared derived objects using rmdo. "Unshare" them first by doing a "make clean" in your views, then doing rmdo to remove them from the vob.

....

This can also be an indication that someone is using rmdo on the derived object that you are missing.
