[c-nsp] Blocking vlan 1 on trunked ports?

Jared,

Thanks for the vote of confidence ^)

Two seconds after I pressed the return key I realized that the message was
missing all of the critical information.

For the record, it's a 3548XL-EN running  12.0(5)XU.

If I tell the switch to accept only vlans 402 & 404 (for example), then
perform a 'sh run', the port config shows the following:

   switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,402,404,1002-1005

No amount of "sw tr all vlan 1 remove" will convince the switch to remove
these 'special' vlans.

I did verify on a new 3550 that vlans 1 & 1002-1005 are not automagically
allowed (or - at least if they are, the config hides the fact).
