After loading one project file (.VBP) and proceeding to load a second
project file, Visual Basic 5.0 reports that the second project is corrupted
and cannot be loaded. However, the second project opens fine if opened by
itself and no message about a corrupted project file appears.
CAUSE
In rare cases, Visual Basic incorrectly reads the project file, which
causes this error.
