Symptom:
CDXDBE: Seeking for a Null string differs to Clipper
Description: 
When a Null/Empty string is passed to DbSeek("") using the
CDXDBE, Xbase++ returns .F. while Clipper returns .T.

DbSeek("") returns since 1.80.284 the following:

  DBSEEK  FOUND()  EOF()  RECNO()
  N       N        Y      2               // RecNo 2 == Ghost Record

  However it should return as following:
  Y       Y        N      1

  In other words, searching/dbseek for an empty string
  should position the record pointer at the first entry
  in the index and return Found == .T.

  This problem is fixed with Xbase++ 1.90.314 and higher.

  NOTE:
  Xbase++ v1.70.267 also returns .T.!
