[c-nsp] Constant output drops on etherchannel

3560 or 3560G.

(C3560-IPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.2(53)SE2

Interface config:

interface Port-channel2
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 3009
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 8,10,1008,1101,3009
 switchport mode trunk
end

I see more output drops during higher traffic, but I still see drops
during low traffic rates.  Always more on one interface.

I do have auto qos enabled for some of the phones I have connected to
the switches, but I don't have any qos on the etherchannel trunks.

I'm just using the default etherchannel load balancing algorithm.

Thanks,
Dan.
