Looks like the default setting (which is in all of our sup720s) is:
"mls cef error action freeze"

Doesn't look like they let you alter that, either. 

Googling around, the only thing I could find on the mls cef error
command was this:
______________________________
Options: mls cef error action {freeze recover reset}

freeze - Allows each protocol to freeze the FIB error. This captures
the info and helpful in event of Cisco TAC troubleshooting during
system problem.

recover - Allows each protocol to recover from the generic FIB error
or a protocol-specific FIB fatal error.

reset - Allows each protocol to clear the data structures and reload the FIB.

Use the mls cef error action freeze command to allow each protocol to
freeze the update of the FIB and to debug the condition. Use the mls
cef error action recover command to set up the registries to inform
the protocol of the error condition and coordinate with the protocols
to clearup the data structures and reload the FIB. Use the mls cef
error action reset command to clear the data structures and reload the
FIB when a FIB error is detected.
