Possible bug in "Igor Procedures" folder?

I recently had my hard drive crash, after recovering I noticed that igor only had about 3/4 of my scripts loaded upon startup. I have all of these scripts in a folder in my documents folder, with aliases in the "Igor Procedures" folder. I couldn't figure out why igor wouldn't load the rest of my procedures.

I eventually figured out that one of the aliases had lost it's original file, and therefore wouldn't open. Igor stopped loading scripts after it got to that alias I'm guessing. Is this normal behavior? I fixed it of course, but it's something to watch out for. After I replaced the original file igor loaded the remaining 25% of my scripts (upon restart.)

Igor keeps looking if an attempt to resolve an alias returns an error.

If the alias is an alias to a folder, of course it can not search that folder or its children.
