[c-nsp] "sh run" crashes router

[Paul Stewart]

What are some of the versions you are running?  We have some 1710/1711
routers and many 2621 in the field and have never experienced that
particular issue..

Agree with eninja though - always IOS bug 95% of the time anyways...;)

Segmentation Violations (SegV) exceptions are _always_  caused by a bug in
Cisco IOS and could be triggered by either of the following:

   - Accessing an invalid memory address e.g. attempting to access the
   lowest 16KB of memory on powerPC platforms
   - Writing to a read-only memory region
   - A jump to an invalid PC (often 0x0)

Contact your network maintenance service provider/Cisco to get your bug fix.
