Multicast double scheduling

    Hi all,
    I have been having an issue with DS 6.9 SP4 and multicasting. If you schedule enough clients to push over the multicast threshold they all seem to image twice. I am running this on Windows XP boxes, both x32 and x64, trying both the LinuxPE and the WinPE. Altiris sees that they completed the first time, and then simply has them run the same task over again.
    Regular imaging is also having an issue, but it is isolated and seems to be related to the network connection of the machine. Occasionally the clients stutter near the end of imaging, usually restarting the entire process.
    Both multicast and unicast imaging pushes are also having a time delay of 10 minutes before they can calculate the full time it will take to finish, with bandwidth fluctuating constantly from over 1400MB/min down to as little as 400MB/min.
    Any help would be appreciated.
