Possible bug in LC6.7 - maybe one for Mark Schonewille?

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Graham,
Late to this one but there is indeed a new property named "status" which is
why your script now fails.  Unfortunately, can't tell what it's used for
since there's no dictionary entry for it.  About to file a bug report for
that.
