[c-nsp] %IPC-SP-5-WATERMARK:

[Adam Korab]

Hi,

Just finished reading the thread from 2002 between Steiner, Alex
Rubenstein, and Chris Johns.  I'm currently dealing with what I think
is the same issue, but running newer code than what Steinar
recommended - 122-19.SXD7 to be precise.

This issue prevents 'sh run' from executing, but otherwise traffic
appears to be passing just fine.  It's happening on 2 6509s, both with
WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE installed.

One question, given that it's a remote environment:  will the boxes
reload properly?  The bit about the MSFC locking makes me nervous.
What code is currently recommended for 6509/sup2?  Any workarounds
available in the meantime?  Customer AFAIK doesn't have Smartnet....

Relevant bits:
