Just ran into an interesting bug in 9.3P17 (yes, I'm off support!)
and another 9.5P5 system which I thought I'd share. 

Let's grab all the export policies on the system in CSV format to make
it easy to parse: 

    ntap1::> set -showseparator ","; export-policy show

    Vserver          Policy Name
    ---------------  -------------------
    foo              default

WTF?  That's wierd?   Let's try something else:

    ntap1::> set -showseparator ","; export-policy show -fields vserver
    ,policyname

    vserver,policyname,
    Vserver,Policy Name,
    foo,default,

Ah!  Now we're getting what we want.  Stupid annoying bug when you're
trying to write a perl script to pull out data.  Can anyone confirm if
this is still there in the latest releases?

Hmm... poking at it some more... I suspect I'm forgetting that you
*must* specify the fields when changing the -showseparator to get
easier to parse output.  But I still think this is a surprising
occurance, since it does include the field names, so there's no need
to actually specify them in the output.

Principal of least surprise and all that.

Cheers,
John
