Description From deschon@isi.edu 2009-09-28 13:26:20

Running the automated RLS tests, modification of an attribute, e.g. "date", in
which the new value and the current value are the same, results in a failure
being reported.

The bug is very likely in "server/db.c", in "db_attr_modify()".  

The call to "SQLRowCount()" returns a "0" in "rows" when the new value and the
current value are the same, and a "1", otherwise.  

"0" rows (which may be an indication of a true failure in some cases) results
in a "GLOBUS_RLS_ATTR_NEXIST" being returned by "db_attr_modify()", and a
failure being reported by the automated RLS tests.
