Legato identified it as LGTsc32510. Just wanted everyone to know about it in 
case someone runs into it. I believe they have 7.4.5.1 but I don't think this 
fix is included. From debugging it looks like this bug is a file descriptor 
leak.

I've seen three savegrp cores on Linux 64-bit since installing 7.4.5 on August 30. So far, EMC has not been able to provide me any relief (no big surprise there, I've only had the issue open since September 14. <sarcasm>I'm told there's a fix for Solaris, but EMC has been unable to compile it on Linux for these past two weeks</sarcasm>.

Thanks for the LGT number. Do your backtraces show savegrp blows up in strlen having walked off the end of allocated memory?
