Summary: Two-Handed Weapon Attack Bonus Incorrect with buckler

Initial Comment:
From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/message/85334

PCGen 5.8.0-RC7/RC8
Character as follows (RSRD loaded):
Stats: 14
Race: Human
Class: Wizard
Feats: Simple Weapon Proficiency, Shield Proficiency
Equipment: Longspear, Buckler

With Longspear equipped (both hands) the attack bonus
is +2 With Longspear (both hands) and Buckler equipped
the attack bonus is +0

There should be only a -1 penalty to the attack bonus.

On the Preview and Outputs sheets there is a -1 Misc
modifier in the MELEE/RANGED/GRAPPLE entries why is
this here?

If the Longspear is carried instead of being equipped
(both hands) the -1 Misc modifier is no longer
displayed and the attack bonus is +1.

------------------------------------------------------

This was entered as a data bug but on investigating I believe this to 
be a code bug. I cannot identify a problem or workaround in the data.

If you remove ALL bonuses (for the penalties) from the buckler there 
still exists a -1 penalty under the circumstances listed above. This 
only manifests when a weapon is equipped in Both hands, if you 
equip a Quarterstaff in both hands the penalty manifests, if you 
equip it as a double weapon the penalty does not appear.

This bug effects the main line as well as 5.8.1 RC1

As I cannot correct this in the data I'm moving it from this data
