Anyone else seen this yet?

I have LPARs running AIX 5.1 ML3, client code 5.1.5.5, server 4.1.9.2 (on
AIX 4.3.3.10).  When an archive is attempted (with the default of
followsymlink=yes) you get this error message in the error.log

a ls -al on  the problem symlink reveals:

lrwxrwxrwx 10 Oct 01 13:40 /usr/websm/pc_client/pccship -> /usr/websm


which looks like a looping symlink to me.  All of our LPARs are like this.
Does everyone else's?

I was unable to find an APAR on this, but was curious what you all found.

thanks!
