Using "Import results table" and continuing measurements

Thanks to those who answered my previous question. Here's yet another.

I use the "Import results table" macro from the ImageJ website to load
unfinished files.  It seems to load them correctly, but then when I
use the Measure command it clears all of the loaded results. I could
save the different parts in different files then stick them together
but having one file would be easier.

I don't know why it's doing it, but I found that if you remove
run("Clear Results"), so that the Import macro just writes over the
old data, then Measure doesn't delete the imported data.  Does Clear
Results set something that tells Measure to start from row 0
regardless of whether setResult() was used? print(nResults()) gives
the correct number of results, so ImageJ knows there are rows there.
It just gets rid of them.

Is this a bug?  How do you resume adding to unfinished files?  For
now, I'm going to use the inelegant solution of adding run("Measure")
right after run("Clear Results") in the Import macro.

Thanks,
Justin
