Hi.  If you could not reproduce the error, then perhaps you did not
press "E" on the same line as me.  The error occurs when you press "E"
on the John line *within the ACME record*.  Yesterday I managed to mark
the role as defunct by pressing "E" on the *organization's reference
that sits to the right of the person's name*.  It seems that I was
pressing "E" on the wrong place.  So it appears all you have to do is:

1. Clarify the manual.
2. When the user presses "E" on the role field of a person in the
   respective organization's record, then EBDB should either just work
   or at least produce a clear and short error message.
