A co-worker reported the same message to me on Friday from a lab
switch running SXD7b when he inserted a 6704-10GE w/dfc3bxl.

Do you have redundant sups in the switch?  This message is in our
logs:

I don't see any instances of this, so it could be different.

"The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who
make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians
have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine
man in the bonds of Hell."
