Sounds like the nvram: on the standby sup is full and/or corrupted.

Try:

dir nvram:
dir slavenvram:

...and see if anything obvious presents itself.

It's possible you'll need to:

erase nvram:
erase slavenvram:
wr mem

...but I'd be cautious about doing that. I'm not sure what else it might 
kill (e.g. SNMP ifindex persistence, SSH keys, etc.)
