A switch that has three root ports....

... Have you guys ever seen this before? We have a switch that has three root ports in an MST instance. MST0 looks fine, but our other three MST instances are showing some wonky stuff.

The switch has three root ports. The CORRECT root bridge is on Te1/1/1. However, the switch is showing Te1/1/1, G2/0/39, and G4/0/10 all as root ports, and the root bridge MAC address shown in the display is hanging off of G2/0/39.

If I shut G2/0/39 and G4/0/10, now the switch becomes the root - yet has a root port. It has a root port, Te1/1/1 - which is the CORRECT root port.

Rebooting all switches downstream from this didn't fix it. We can't reboot this one during the day, we have a reload scheduled for tonight.

You guys ever seen this? Have any suggestions if a reboot doesn't fix it?
