Has anyone ever seen a situation where the RP and SP bootvar gets 
desynced, like so:

router#sh bootvar
BOOT variable = disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRC3.bin,1;disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRC2.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable = 
BOOTLDR variable = 
Configuration register is 0x2102

router#remote login switch
Trying Switch ...
Entering CONSOLE for Switch
Type "^C^C^C" to end this session

router-sp#show bootvar
BOOT variable = disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRC2.bin,1;disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRC1.bin,1;disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRC1.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0x2102

I tried clearing and readding the boot config, resetting the config 
register, etc, but when the box reboots it always tries to load the 
images specified in the SP bootvar. The only way to load new images on 
the box (short of breaking to rommon and manually typing the image name 
on console) is to rename the new file to one of the image names the SP 
is looking for, which needless to say is pretty annoying. Any clues?
