This is a known bug. There is a patch file available called (if I remember
right) tcppt1.zip. It fixes the corrupted .prj file problem along with a few
other problems. It is avaialble in the PROGB section of the Borland forum on
Compuserve. Note that you must rebuild your .prj files after applying the
patch before the problem goes away. This is documented.

I believe that someone has uploaded the patch to simtel recently.
