MLM multiple status update traps

[Peter Farr <farr_p@INS.COM>]

My client is seeing a problem where their MLMs are sending in multiple
status traps for each interface they manage each polling cycle. This does
not happen all the time, nor does it come from the same MLM all the time.
When hit happens It is causing some severe performance problems since it can
send in several thousand traps every update cycle. The problem has been
reported to IBM, but I thought I would also ask on this forum if anyone has
seen this and, if so, how it was fixed.

The MLMs are version 5.1.1 running on Windows NT 4.0. NetView is version
5.1.1 also, but running on AIX 4.x.
