	cisco doesn't do effective testing of the boot-up mode of the device so
does not notice these types of things, and when they are noticed they are logged
as sev5 or sev6 defects since they are not seen as critical.

	there is also the problem that the parser operates in two modes, one
for processing the config at boot-time, and another for processing the config
at runtime.  This is why it will translate some older-style configuration bits
but you can no longer enter them.

	Without knowing your full config, it's hard to say what caused the above,
but if everything is working fine, or you are not using VRFs it's likely cosmetic.
I do encourage you to ask cisco to fix the defect, but don't expect it to be
quickly resolved.
