	I've found it's important to insure that one uses
the "mls flow ip destination".  But just because it's configured
that way, doesn't mean it's the way it's being used
internally to the box.  Check it with "sh mls flowmask"
Cisco will transparently switch on you without warning (or a
way to check it via snmp) presently.  Some features require more
information so enable the more granular mls flow.  Note in their
docs, it says "minimum flowmask", so they basically reserve the right
to change it to the most abusive mls flowmask at any time.
