Environment - Veritas NBU 5.0 Enterprise Server on Solaris 8 server 
                   - Clients are a mixture of Solaris, Windows, and Linux
running the 4.5MP6 or 5.0 client 

Periodically, a client will backup all filesystems for every stream.  For
example: 
  Client A has 3 streams (c:\, d:\, and System_State) 
  Stream for C:\ backs up C:\, D:\, and System_State 
  Stream for D:\ backs up C:\, D:\, and System_State 
  Stream for System_State backs up C:\, D:\, and System_State 

This has happened with Windows clients and Solaris clients.  
All clients that have exhibited this problem were running the 5.0 client. 
(I haven't seen it on a Linux client, but these are few in my environment) 
This has happened in both incremental and full schedules. 

Earlier backups of the same client, in the same policy, worked as expected. 
Later backups of the same client, in the same policy, worked as expected. 

Has anybody seen this?  
Does anybody have an idea on how to correct this (besides disabling
multi-streaming)?
