I have encountered a very strange problem (in 10.6.1), which, after some hours of searching, I tracked down to this line of code ...

set linkFile to make new alias file at trashPath to imageFileAlias with properties {name:linkName}

The problem is that the alias file created by this line should have NO comment, but had a comment that it could not possibly have. So, I changed the code to ...

set linkFile to make new alias file at trashPath to imageFileAlias with properties {name:linkName, comment:"This_is_a_test"}

just to see what would happen. What happened was a new alias file whose comment is "This_is_a_test", which is what I expected. So I reverted to the original ...

set linkFile to make new alias file at trashPath to imageFileAlias with properties {name:linkName}

and tried again. The comment of the alias file should now be "", but NO!, it's now "This_is_a_test".

Something isn't right here. Am I really required to write ...

 ... with properties {name:linkName, comment:""}

if I want an empty comment? Where's the elephant that's not forgetting?

Need a bug report.
It seems that a buffer is not cleared after use.
