[c-nsp] Adjusting TCAM allocation weird behavior on 7600

Those settings work on a SUP720-3BXL:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Router#sh mls cef maximum-routes 
FIB TCAM maximum routes :
=======================
Current :-
-------
 IPv4                - 768k 
 MPLS                - 16k (default)
 IPv6 + IP Multicast - 120k (default)


Router#
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In your case, it's strange we don't see the MPLS value marked as "default".
Are you sure you removed the "mls cef maximum-routes" for MPLS ? You should
have only one line:

Router#sh run | inc mls cef max
mls cef maximum-routes ip 768
Router#

Hmm I somewhat tried that with these,

sh mls cef maximum-routes
FIB TCAM maximum routes :
=======================
Current :-
-------
  IPv4 + MPLS         - 512k (default)
  IPv6 + IP Multicast - 256k (default)

User configured :-
---------------
  IPv4                - 768k
  MPLS                - 16k
  IPv6 + IP Multicast - 120k (default)

Upon reboot :-
-----------
  IPv4                - 768k
  MPLS                - 16k
  IPv6 + IP Multicast - 120k (default)

but still no dice. IOS bug?
