Sorry, I wasn't too clear... I wasn't talking about N update
commands...  I was talking about one update command with N lines
of input.

And, sorry again, it turns out my specifics were way off...  just 
now, I gave 6.1.4 nsradmin input like so...

 show name; save set
 print type:NSR client; name:some_client
 update save set: /v/a/user.a.backup, /v/b/user.b.backup, [...about 4600 
characters here...], /v/z/user.z.backup

and the input...

 [...], /v/u/user.userX.backup, /v/u/user.userY.backup, [...]
 
was updated as...

 [...], /v/u/user.userX.backup, Y.backup, [...]

so 16 characters disappeared, starting at character 2020 of the
save set list! 

Then I did s/, /,^M/g and thus gave nsradmin input like so...

 show name; save set
 print type:NSR client; name:some_client
 update save set: /v/a/user.a.backup,
 /v/b/user.b.backup,
 [... ~ 80 lines containing ~ 4600 characters here ...]
 /v/z/user.z.backup

and it worked correctly.
