Description James Blackburn CLA 2010-08-03 10:28:49 EDT
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a HelloWorld app
2) Create a preprocessor symbol:
  Project Properties > C/C++ General > Paths & Symbols > Symbols > Add
3) Export the symbol
  Project Properties > C/C++ General > Paths & Symbols > Symbols > Export
4) Now change it's value.

Notice that its no longer exported, and the actual symbol which has been exported, has the original value.
