Re: [Networker] Problem with scheduled savegrp -O job

Tim,

I agree. I am on vacation now, but just before I left, I opened a case with EMC 
on this issue. They want me to run "nsrck L6" and "nsrim -X" which I will do on 
Monday when I get back to the office. This morning I also provided output of 
"savegrp -vvv -D9 -O -l full" to EMC, which I assume they studying now. Even if 
there is some database corruption, the savegrp -O command should not bomb due 
to a memory allocation issue, which it definitely appears to be doing. I will 
keep the list updated on this case once I receive more information from EMC on 
it.
