 I had not attempted multiple attachments for a while.  Testing this
morning indicates that only the first attachment on each attach point will
be saved and re-rez properly.   I cannot re-create your "it causes my NPC
to be a cloud" problem.  For me, the NPC rezzes consistently with the
single attachment.

I saw some interesting screen flashes while rezzing a bunch of the
testbots.  On some of the rezzes it looked like the initial attachment
occured, then  the second attachment was rezzed on the ground at the NPC's
feet and then de-rezzed again promptly.   That may indicate the attachment
was saved into the notecard and the osNPCgenerate function is the point of
failure...

I have been using scripted attachments on NPCs for some time.  Outside of
making sure the scripts can properly identify who they are attached to, and
leaving a couple seconds between NPC rezzes to allow the scripted objects
to initialize.  I haven't had any other issues...
