vdump - vrestore and hard links

We've noticed that when vrestoring a file that has multiple hard links
during the vdump that ONLY the first occurance of the file will restore
successfully. All subsequent files fail with errors.

For example:

file system:

inode name
1 adam
2 bob
1 frank

vdump this filesystem....

then vrestore -i
add frank
extract

would give:

vrestore: error creating link ./frank --> ./adam; [2] No such file or directory


Is this normal expected behavior? Is there a way to extract this data
to the file anyway? Ideally it'd re-link the file if it's the
same.... or create a new file if necessary.
