[nsp] dot1q causes port error?

Ok,
 have switched to ISL
 have turned off keepalives
 have moved to IOS 12.0(5)WC5a

And the errors are still there..

Again, these show as output errors on teh rtr and input on sw. Perhaps the rtr
has a bug and is generating this? [See separate email on changing rtr ios,
perhaps that will fix this issue too!]
