[c-nsp] Fun problem affecting only even-numbered ports

[Benjamin Lovell]

Nothing that I can think of. One Super Santa Anna and Janus run ports  
1-24 and another pair of them run ports 25-48. One Rohini runs each  
consecutive group of 12 ports. The only thing I could guess at is the  
path take across the switchbar fabric but I don't recall how we select  
FPOE right now.
