I'm pleased to say that I need to correct myself here. This bug is finally
fixed in NetWorker 7.0. LGTpa49608 fixes this by rewriting the way that the
file locking takes place. The engineer responsible for this is one of
Legato's most experienced so finally it's been done right.

I have tried it in Linux and Win2K and it seems to work OK. However don't
take my word for it, try it yourself on your platform of choice. The acid
test is to kill (-9?) the pstclntsave process on the client during a
savepnpc backup (thus leaving the <GROUP>.tmp file in place), then see
whether the pre and post processing works the next time.
