Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package

The following issues are fixed in this hotfix package, but were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

When you try to reschedule uncompleted work in your master Project plan, either nothing happens or you receive the following error message:
Microsoft Project has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
When you view the details of the error message, you may find the following error signature:
```
   App Name     App Version    Module Name  Module Version  Offset
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
   Winproj.exe  11.0.2003.816  Winproj.exe  11.0.2003.816   3f3dfb26
```
When you add a new resource to your project plan that contains a progress bar, the progress bar may disappear, but the project plan still indicates the percentage completed.
If you rename a task in your project plan that has been linked to another task or project plan, the task name may not be updated in the other task or project plan.
