[Koha] bulkmarcimport problems

[Larry Stamm]

Hi All,

When trying to import MARC records into Koha using the bulkmarcimport
script, about 6% of the records get added to the biblio and biblioitem
tables with just the biblionumber and biblioitemnumber incremented, and
the rest of the fields being "NULL" (except for the timestamp data).
These items are also totally absent from the items table.  Random checks
indicate that they are not being added correctly to the marc_word table
either, although they are entered there.  Anybody else noticing this?

Below is a listing of a typical MARC record that is missed.  Is there
something in this cataloguing that is screwing up Perl?  I have noticed
that a majority of the missing records have "cn" as the first values in
the "001" field.
