Similar but nowhere near identical.  NV for NT 6.0.2, SmartSet is 
"isInterface=True && IP Status=Critical".  The problem is the presence 
of IP Status=Normal nodes in the display.  It may well be the nodes were 
added correctly when the node was critical but they were not removed 
when the status returned to Normal, I'm not sure. They definitely stick 
around for more than nine minutes.

I wrote a PMR on it this morning.
