The Dimensional Hierarchy glitch in WarehouseArchitect

Has anyone encountered unexpected behavior in WarehouseArchitect 6.1? I evaluated a beta release and reported an intermittent condition The gist of it is that when you delete a fact from the hierarchy and subsequently consolidate the model into the MetaWorks repository, the extracts contain all of the dimensions that were previously subordinated to the deleted fact, orphaned and hanging off the end of the hierarchy. I noticed that this behavior persisted into the GA release of 6.1, but didn't happen as frequently. I think the problem has something to do with the way NT 4.0 manages memory, because it seemed to happen more often when I had more than two other applications open at the same time. I have been handling this problem by consolidating with the "replace" option. I don't consider this to be good model management practice, but for the time being it is the best I can do. Has anyone else encountered this problem and come up with a better solution?
