I believe it's a known issue, and is actually at the device message level, 
rather than being say, an NMC bug. (I.e., if you use nsradmin you'll see the 
same odd number of sessions reported.)

It's a damnably odd bug - it doesn't always manifest, particularly with more 
recent builds of 7.6 SP1 - e.g., in 7.6.1.2 it  may appear depending on the 
drive type and the number of actual sessions. I do believe though that the 
lower the actual running sessions to a device, the more likely the 
mis-reporting will occur.

Cheers,

Preston.
