Hot point bug in linking?

Hot point bug in linking?

I created a cylinder and a cube, and the cube was linked to the cylinder
with an axis constraint.

To do this, I aligned the cylinder and cube, then linked them, then sent the
hotpoint of the cylinder to 0,0,0 (with the hot point locked), then unlocked
the hot point of the cube and sent it to 0,0,0 so it would revolve around
the hot point of the cylinder.

I then wanted to make that assembly (cylinder + cube) rotate around another
cylinder - so I moved them a bit away on the  +Y axis, added a cylinder, and
moved it to 0,0,0.

However, when I unlocked the original cylinder's hot point and moved it to
0,0,0 (to center its rotation at the center of the new cylinder) the cube
moved FURTHER away from 0,0,0 on the +Y axis...

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andrew
