[nsp] Strange IOS behaviour

[Wim De Houwer]

Hello All,

I seem to have a strange 'thing' going on on one of my 7500's, there are error counters that are not increasing but Decreasing!!

This is the reduced info from the 'show ver':

So if anyone has any good ideas on how to resolve this as it's driving my monitoring software nuts...

Thanks,
