The sysrestore command is hanging when using the -F flag

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.1.4
  RISC J30
  sysback 3.3.3.3.15 

Problem:  
  I created a full system backup.
  When I tried to restore /etc/objrepos and /usr/lib/objrepos
  Using this command it just hung

  sysrestore -Ff /dev/rmt0 -d /etc/objrepos /usr/lib/objrepos

Action Taken:
  I put a set -x in this function getoptions in the sysrestore command

  Here is the output

  + unset FORCE
+ unset TOC
+ getopt HLNFndqxlf:h:v:c:e:D:t: -Ff /images/modj30.rootvg.03171210 -d /etc/objr
epos /usr/lib/objrepos
+ 2> /dev/null
+ set -- -F -f /images/modj30.rootvg.03171210 -d -- /etc/objrepos /usr/lib/objre
pos
+ test 0 -ne 0
+ [ -F != -- ]
+ FORCE=1
+ [ -F != -- ]
+ FORCE=1
+ [ -F != -- ]
+ FORCE=1
+ [ -F != -- ]
+ FORCE=1
+ [ -F != -- ]
+ FORCE=1
+ [ -F != -- ]
+ FORCE=1
+ [ -F != -- ]
+ FORCE=1
+ [ -F != -- ]

It kept scrolling this over and over.

This is a known defect with sysback, it is fixed with sysback 3.3.3.16

Action Plan:
  Sending sysback 3.3.3.16 to the customer
