[c-nsp] Cisco 7200VXR/NPE-300 & NPE-G1 Crash with PA-2FE-FX

[Rodney Dunn]

Can anyone that is seeing this problem or that can
reproduce it in a lab let me know?

We haven't been able to make it happen in our lab yet.

If you see it please open a TAC case and ask them
to attach your case to:

CSCsa50332
Externally found moderate defect: Waiting (W)
VIP4-80 with PA-2FE-TX may crash with parity error
