[Networker] nsrjobd fubar in 7.3.4 and 7.4 SP2?

We've had an ongoing issue with 7.3.4 and 7.4 SP2 (both with the securityfix applied) where nsrjobd seems to have some troubles. The process takesup 100% CPU on one thread (looping thread is my guess), and it also growscontinously, up to about 500MB allocated memory. After a while, processesseem to be experiencing communications problems with nsrjobd which makesprocesses wait, which means that groups don't run, recover sessions takelong until they can browse, up until the backup system is rendereduseless. A restart doesn't really help either since nsrjobd is quiteunresponsive even after the restart and quickly allocates memory andstarts using lots of CPU right away. I also don't see any messages aboutthat it has managed to purge old records anymore. Ofcourse this is aserious problem.

And why am I telling the list this? Well, as usual EMC support is quiteunresponsive and takes a long time to collect the information needed totroubleshoot this. For instance, we've had a P1 case opened from monday tofriday and they still needed more info after an escalation was opened onFriday, even though the reasons for the troubles were quite clearlylocated within nsrjobd. I'm guessing this is a more or less generalproblem with nsrjobd, so I would like to receive feedback from other usersin the community that might experience similar issues. Contact me on- oroff-list. I don't mind sharing experiences about this on the list as well.
