Yup.  Running 12.0(21)S4, after about 2 weeks the SNMP data for POS drops 
to zero first, then about a week later, 2 FEs drop to zero as well.  I 
suspect it has to do with cumulative traffic.  'sho in' shows the numbers 
working fine, just snmp mib data is FUBARed.  We have a TAC case open on 
this and as a workaround they recommend we use the following MIBs that do work:

For Packet counts :
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.local.linterfaces.lifTable.lifEntry.locIfFastOutPkts
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.local.linterfaces.lifTable.lifEntry.locIfFastInPkts

For Octets counts :
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.local.linterfaces.lifTable.lifEntry.locIfFastOutOctets
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.local.linterfaces.lifTable.lifEntry.locIfFastInOctets
