some interfaces won't add?!?

Hey jffnms-folks, I've got a problem that results in some detected
interfaces not being added/addable. Perhaps someone has seen this before?

To start, I am kicking off a "manual" autodiscover from the hosts menu.
All the interfaces on the host will be detected and I can select them,
but only some of them will show up under the post-autodiscover screen
and get added to the db. The rest are ignored as if I didn't check them. 
It's not a browser thing, firefox and chromium both do it.

This happens both on a jffnms install on debian stable that I've had
around forever, and a fresh/current one I installed on a VM just to test
for this problem. I have two cisco 6509s that have rather a bunch of
interfaces in/on them that I've been testing with--they have different
supervisors, card configurations, OS versions, etc, but both elicit this 
behavior.

I did a discover and 'mark all interfaces' on my test install and it 
ends up adding all of the detected/marked interfaces down to some 
certain point, after which nothing else will add.

If I remove one of these hosts and add it back in, then detect 
interfaces and add one or more of the choice of un-addable interfaces 
(for instance a bgp neighbor "interface", I just tried it) the next page 
declares "no interfaces found."

Any idears?

Hi,
  You've described the problem well except for one important omission.
What version of JFFNMS are you using?

Debian stable uses JFFNMS 0.8.5 so if it is that one I think there 
were table problems.
