you are definitelly supposed to be able to re-read modesl
in a full database
this is one of the mainassets of acedb
please let me know exactly what code version and machine you use
as a work around
do a
dump -s
and in a separate directory
install the new model file
mkdir database
and re-read all the files you dumped previously
=====
but this is definitely a terrible bug, which we have
note seen here or during testing
