A 12000 will just plain stop forwarding if CEF is disabled for some reason 
(like running out of route memory on a LC). Even worse is that it keeps 
it's IGP neighbour sessions up (this is configurable though, but as far as 
I know, the default is to keep them up) so it's effectively blackholing 
traffic to/from that linecard.
