Cause
This appears to be an issue with how FEDS payload is sent to BPBRM in NetBackup 9.0, 9.0.0.1, 9.1 and 9.1.0.1 only.
The issue does not affect backup selections in a standard policy. The issue has been seen when running bparchive or for user initiated backups with large backup selections in an include file list.
