[c-nsp] EARL L2 ASIC Search Engine has failed

[Jason Lixfeld]

I've had TAC chewing on this error for the past month.  Seems that the DFC in slot 2 and slot 3 are reporting the error.  TAC's first inclination was bad hardware, so it was RMA'd, however the error showed up again a few days ago.  A reboot cleared it and I haven't seen it since, but it's still alarming that "brand new" hardware would show exactly the same error, of which I have never seen before in my life.

Anyone seen this in the wild?  Software issue perhaps?
