As it happens I just did a "half-test" on one of our boxes where I did 
the "issu loadversion" so that I could see what it told me about outage 
times - and all kinds of horrific messages started spraying onto the 
console about missing ifindex values, IDB failures and so forth.

I quickly did an "issu abortversion"

Bah. Thanks a lot Cisco...
