Is it possible that a numeric backup could still be browsable (sumflags=cb) but none of the older instances of that save set? In other words, the preceding incrementals are 'cr' and the previous full is also 'cr'?

Under what circumstances could this occur? Seems like the numeric would still require the previous full to rebuild the save set as it existed at that time, assuming the numeric is still browsable? I know this is true with incrementals, anyway. Thought so ...
