Congratulations, you have managed to turn your ME3400 into a C2500 by
throwing too many routing entries at the FIB :-D

Try cutting down on the number of prefixes the box is holding.  If it's
dealing with a full DFZ, then cut that out and use some defaults.  If this
is being caused by a large interior network, then you need to segment /
confederate / summarise / whatever in order to drop the number of prefixes.

If it's related to having more VRFs than you can shake a stick at, then you
need to cut down on that.
