I believe you are correct; PIM -SM will have the same prune-override
problem as PIM-DM on a frame hub and spoke topology. PIM-SM has the
optional nbma-mode to take care of this problem. If you enable this on the
the hub it will keep track of each joining router individually and will
prune only the routers from which it recieved the prune. In other words,
PIM-SM has an optional fix that is not available to PIM-DM.

multicast out Serial0, R3 (spoke B) will not hear the message either, as it
occurs with Dense-mode.
