[c-nsp] NPE-G1 with 12.2(25)S reload

[Brian Feeny]

David,

Absolutely.  In fact I downgraded to 12.2(18)S7.  If you don't mind me 
asking, what are you running?  I have most of our core at 12.2(18)S7, 
and I have had very little problems.  I have not had this "reload" bus 
error hit me on 12.2(18)S7 as of yet, so hopefully its not something 
that is in that release as well.

I am always looking for opinions on which 12.2S code others have 
settled on.  12.2(18)S7 has gotten numerous kudos on this list and 
other places and it seems to work well for us.  I run the SERVICE 
PROVIDER feature set.
