Load of .df errors with "table already exists" and "cannot alter field from frozen table"

Article discusses and issue that can arise since version 11.5.0 where a fix for a known defect resulted in the ability to dump all of the system tables when SELECT ALL tables is performed through the Data Admin tool->Dump Data Definitions menu option. This results in the "table already exists" and "cannot alter field from frozen table" errors when trying to import that .df into a new database. The end result is that this change should have never been introduced in 11.5.0. A new defect has been created to revert this behavior back to how it worked before 11.5.0
