[nsp] 2611 router Memory Allocation Error

Hi,

I have a Cisco 2611 running 12.0(3)T3

It was working fine until i added up some links on the 8AS card. For
instance this morning it gave this Memory Allocation Failure.
Whenever this happens, the network traffic stalls, and on the terminal
console there is always a memory allocation error like below. On restart, it
boots up fine but takes like 5 to 10 minutes nothing being displayed on the
terminal and things resume though at a slow pace, i do a reload and after
that it resumes back to normal.

Sys-2-mallocFail: Memory allocation 0f 276 bytes failed from 0x80217E1C,
pool 2
-Process="IP Input", ipl=6, pid=23,
-Traceback=802475D0 8024896C 8021

Anyone experienced this before and if so.. whats the cause and how best can
i deal with this. It happens like once or twice a week but its never the
same error message.

Regards,

Michuki.
