[j-nsp] Comparison strangeness with annotations

[Per Westerlund]

Hi all!

Normally, when comparing current and previous configurations on 
Junos-boxes, I assume I get the same results when running in operational 
mode as when running in configuration mode. I didn't even think there 
could be a difference.

The other day, when we were having some problems with SPACE and 
annotations, I suddenly noticed that there is a difference. When there 
is a difference in an annotation, it is shown while running in 
configuration mode, but not when compared form operational mode. See 
this example from my lab:


perw at srx4# show | compare rollback 1
[edit routing-options static]
+    /* Test of annotate 1 */
      route 192.168.52.0/24 { ... }

[edit]
perw at srx4# quit
Exiting configuration mode

perw at srx4> show system rollback compare 1 0
[edit routing-options static]
      route 192.168.52.0/24 { ... }



When comparing from operational mode, what you get is: "There is a 
difference, but we will not show what it is".


Has this difference in behaviour always been there? Bug or feature?
