I've never seen this one specifically, but a quick pass over Cisco's site 
doesn't reveal much useful information.  It just sais that an error has 
been detected in the RChip ASIC and that it's a debugging message.  The 
recommendation is to replace the module.

It possible that if this didn't start until after a code upgrade that 
there's some funky low-level IOS version/card firmware version 
incompatibility that's at the heart of the issue.

If you have a support contract that covers hardware replacement, I suspect 
that getting a replacement won't be a big issue.  Finding out exactly why 
this is happening may be a little more involved since it may need to be 
escalated to a development engineer.
