Error description

• When importing two project sets through consecutive imports of
  two psf-files to IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), in which
  each psf-file has a reference to one and the same project(s),
  the import fails and the workspace becomes unusable.  The common
  project is imported correctly for the first psf file however the
  second import gives the options to 'accept overwrite' or
  'ignore' the already imported project. Either of these options
  being chosen renders the workspace unusable.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  None.

  Properly catch the problematic psf imports and allow the
  system to continue processing the remaining entries in the
  file and eventually open the projects.
