[c-nsp] 7500 having problems after upgrade from 12.0.19S2 to 12.0.31S1

[Rodney Dunn]

Some customers complain we have too many images already. :)

We have done things before to try and facilitate something
like this but we can't do it every time.

ie: I'm working right now trying to get a 12.4 image for
8xx's with 48M of flash.
