Hmm.

My rule of thumb has been that a diag "fail" is not definitive, but a 
"pass" is. SPRPInband is one of the periodic diags (run, IIRC, every 15 
seconds) so it's actually passed a lot of times since you've seen the error.

Was anything else going on at the time? Maybe the SP or RP were busy and 
thus dropped the pings? What does "remote command switch show log | inc 
Feb 18 16:" show?

However, at least on SXI, 10 consecutive failures is the max permitted, 
and in some redundancy modes that can trigger a SUP failover!
