Strange error message in Millennium subject search

[Deb Malecha <dmalecha at delawarelibrary dot org>]

We have seen some weird behavior in Millennium, but this one is new.  
When doing a subject search in Millennium  for a term that is not a 
library of congress subject heading, we see the error message: "Record 
Selected is not valid for this operation. Record type must be 
bibliographic, item."

The reason for the message is clear, the record has defaulted to a blank 
(c-fly?) Authority record.  The original subject search that brought 
this up was the term "trivia".  But we found that  a subject search on 
the (erroneous) term "cooking" will cause the same behavior.

Has anybody out there seen this?  We have a call open, but so far, no 
one has responded.  We are a public library running Silver, our only 
Millennium module is circulation, everything else is text-based.  We do 
not use III's acquisitions or serials modules.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
