**** observed with 2001-02-27 build ****
Steps to reproduce:
- create a new addressbook in 4.x (say with a name "new");
- migrate this profile ;
- open AB and note:
//the newly created address book looks like "new.ldif" ( should be just "new")
PS. all migrated abooks are coming empty (personal included)

Using this build, I followed reporter's steps.  But I do not see any problem.
Marina, can you try it again?  So I can mark it worksforme.

it is still happening to me with 2001-03-08 build. Create a new address book in
4.x. Delete Mozilla dir and migrate the profile.Note that the newly created AB
has an ext ldif (myabook.ldif) though it is not empty in today's build: all
cards i enetered in 4.x are there.

fenella - why don't you and marina get together so she can give you her 4.x 
address book and you can try the steps.  Let's try to see what either you or 
Marina may be doing slightly differently in the steps and if not, take that 
factor out.  Then, try using the same starting point (address book file).

the "new shows up as new.ldif" is a duplicate of #41887.
