I was wondering if anyone has seen a similar issue.

7609 Sup720 running 7600s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRB3.bin

I am seeing lots of malloc errors after seeing a long running SNMP
querier who is unable to query my router.

332 bytes failed from 0x42081CA8, alignment 32

for SNMP req from host X.Y.Z.21

I notice this on another box I was running a few months ago but didn't
get any resolution just got the offending host to stop and reloaded
the router.

I didn't see anything in the bug tookkit and we have a case open.

Thanks,
Jay
