Hi Phil,

We actually upgraded from SXF13 to SXF17 since this issue began so we have 'reloaded' it, we haven't completely powered it off and back on yet though.

thanks,
-Drew

This might sound a bit odd, but you might see it go away with a reload. 
We've had funnies with fabric channels that were reliably reproducible, 
until we reloaded the box as a "last try" before RMAing - and it and all 
of its linecards have been fine since.

Not the more reassuring statement I know.

If you have a spare chassis you could try GOLDing the relevant cards one 
by one, using the disruptive tests (standard disclaimer: some of the 
disruptive tests fail if there's *ANY* config on the box at all; some 
fail under certain IOS versions; and so forth). If the cards all pass, 
it's probably fine :o/
