Bug Description
it's possible to merge the precat dummy bib into another bib, causing serious mayhem.
1. Item Status Screen, retrieve a precat
2. Actions for Cataloguers -> Add to Record Bucket
3. Retrieve the bucket using the record bucket UI
NOTE: The precat does not appear in the UI but is in fact a record in the container.
4. Click "Merge All Records", you will get a strange but not informatative dialog and eventually you will be allowed to merge the records
Postgres: 8.4
OpenSRF: 1.6.3
EG: 2.0.5
Ubuntu Lucid 64bit Server

I am wondering which of the following (or combination thereof) would be the best solution:
- db constraint on container. biblio_ record_ entry_bucket so that record != -1
- constraint on plpsql merge function to prevent merging -1 record
- javascript message to prevent adding precats to bib record buckets
- allow precats to be shown in record buckets in the event they get in there
etc.
