It is also possible that the bold line above may be completely missing.
Reason for the issue
The problem occurs due to the GCEMS sometimes not sending a particular message to the IMG when it is restarted.
Fix / Solution
This issue is resolved version 10.5.1 ER 3 or later of the software (firmware build 203).
Workaround
Removing the "Call Tracing Enable" node in ClientView and re-adding it will force the mount point to be recreated on the IMG and call tracing should be available again.
