If a link node is linked to a dynamic cell, you may receive an exception
error including the following:

   com.sas.analytics.crm.error.client.CodingException:  Unknown node
   state in getWorstAncestorState():4

   at com.sas.analytics.crm.flow.ejb.MANode.getWorstAncestorState
   (MANode.java:1632)

An example of this condition is:

   - Create 2 select nodes (gender = female, deceased = no)
   - Hook the 1st select node to a cell node
   - Make the cell a dynamic cell and update counts on it
   - Hook the cell to an AND node
   - Hook the 2nd select to the AND node

The error message shown above will only occur if a node with
multiple inputs (AND, OR, Communication) has a dynamic cell or link
node hooked to a dynamic cell as its first input.

The workaround, if the node with multiple inputs has at least one input
that is not a dynamic cell/link to dynamic cell, is to make that input
the first one to the multi-input node.
