query-pr bug when category name has a "-"? |

Using query-pr version 3.111
Suppose you have a category directory ABC
and category directory name containing a dash
(say, ABC-4) which contains a PR called 4200
I've just noticed that if I point query-pr to -c
of "ABC" I get an unexpected return:
query-pr -c ABC --summary 4200
4200 jim ABC-4 open serious medium jim ABC TR 3634: blah blah ....
which should have not found a match since 4200 is actually in ABC-4,
note that the summary states the correct category name for "4200" in
the -c ABC-4 case, but it just didn't match the -c option.
and then what I would expect when I point to the category that contains
4200:
query-pr -c ABC-4 --summary 4200
4200 jim ABC-4 open serious medium jim ABC TR 3634: blah blah ....
so the behavior suggests that if two category names
are the same up to the point where there's a "-" and
the PR didn't exist in the shorter category, it
then searches the next one by falling through.
does this mean that "-" should be considered an illegal
char to use in database directory names? Is this a
bug fixed by now?
thanks,
Mark
