**System Information**
Win7, GT660m
**Blender Version**
Broken: 2.70a release
Worked: (optional)
**Short description of error**
Hook modifier needs "reset" in order to work correctly if created from modifiers area, otherwise (from ctrl+h) does not need "reset".
**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
- The example on the left hand side was produced using this method : 1. select bone 2. select object 3. enter edit mode 4. select vertices 5. ctrl+h, hook to new object bone - it works fine, even though the vertex group field in the modifier's parameters is left blank.
- The example on the right-hand side was produced using this method : 1. select object 2. add hook modifier 3. fill in desired parameters - while the bone's transforms are completely reset, the geometry rotates 90° around some point.
The problematic cases are solved using "reset" from the modifier settings, which is accessible only from edit mode (took me a few minutes to figure out).
