I've encountered a rather disturbing behavior from TurboSTORE:

:restore *t;bogus.file.name;local;keep;show
          >> TURBO-STORE/RESTORE  VERSION  C.55.07  B5152AA  <<
                    (C) 1986 HEWLETT-PACKARD CO.

RESTORE  *t;bogus.file.name;LOCAL;KEEP;SHOW

WED, FEB 12, 1997, 10:10 AM

BOGUS.FILE.NAME NOT RESTORED: FILE NOT FOUND ON MEDIA

DATABASE INFORMATION:

TURBOIMAGE DATABASE: XYZDB   .GROUP    .ACCOUNT
FILES RESTORED :                                   9864
FILES FAILED TO RESTORE :                            17

ALLBASE/SQL DATABASE: MYDBE   .DBX     .ACCT
FILES RESTORED :                                     -1
FILES FAILED TO RESTORE :                             4

 ... (several other records similar to above, all for databases which exist
on my system, but none with any file counts that make sense) ...

FILES RESTORED :                               0
FILES NOT ON MEDIA :                           1


I was pretty nervous at first to see references to some database files haing
been "restored" even though I didn't ask for them, but closer inspection
showed that the bottom-line message about zero files actually being restored
is the correct indication of what has happened.  So my only real concern is
with all these bogus messages in the restore output.  It only happens when a
requested file does not exist on the tape, but it's still rather unsettling.

Couldn't find anything in the KDB about this (lots of HP-UX hits, of
course... grrr).
