[c-nsp] Cisco 3750 high CPU utilization HL3U bkgrd]

Hello,

We have many Cisco 3750 switches in our network which have high CPU
utilization.It seems that the process that cause this high load is:HL3U
bkgrd process.

The problem is solved after a reload but appears again after 3-4 months.

We changed also the IOS but with no results.

It seems that it is a bug but I am not very sure.
