[c-nsp] Sup-720 fabric failures

[Mack McBride]

This is actually a common fault in electronics (not just routers).
As the device cools, improper solder connections separate causing issues (ie. Something isn't making good contact).
As the device heats up the components expand and restore contact and everything works fine.
This is in fact a fault.  Under normal conditions the device should be able to function as long as you don't get
condensation and you don't freeze the capacitors (which freeze somewhere below 0C).
Obviously fluctuating the temperature will make the situation worse as the poor connection eventually becomes
no connect from shrinking and expanding.

That's really weird. We have operated sup720 in places that cool.

None spring to mind, beyond a really odd hardware fault.
