Davina is, as usual, correct.  See 'Appendix A: Base Enablers' in the
NetWorker V7.3 Release Notes
(http://web1.legato.com/infodev/publications/NetWorker/WINDOWS/7.3/winrs_73.
pdf) for the various NetWorker maximums and limits.  I don't see the limit
that you hit, but please think about all of these limits together in the
context of your environment.

Please let us know what the solution is!

Thanks

The fact that this breakpoint comes on a number that is a power of 2 
makes me very suspicious. I think you should be contacting Legato 
Support and not this list. You may have hit some limit that is in the 
code by design or by accident.
