I have not seen this but think I'd better check now.. does it happen only
on small savesets? Chances are, if it seems like a bug, it is.
Are the savesets aborted or incomplete in someway? In 7.1.1 I can still
get savesets listed as "in-progress' even after nsrim is run.
Report it to Legato/EMC to see if its known? The bugs fixed for 7.2.1
are posted . Of course, I don't see this in there.
