[c-nsp] 7206 NPE-G2 crash caused by a bouncing DS1

[e ninja]

Justin,

There are way too many bugs in IOS for anyone to try to guess the cause of
this crash - especially without your attaching the crashinfo files.

Either way, SegV crashes are _always_ caused by software bugs and the TAC
engineer should have decoded your tracebacks and if need be disassemble the
the functions to reveal the errand function/s and action prior to the crash,
rather than still be "thinking"
