That's what I used to think (it is not "unrecoverable", but Cisco decided
to not implement recovery[*]).  OTOH on SXI "sh mls tcam ex" continued to 
show "true" even after the overflow got fixed, while the OP's 15.1SY
went back to "false".

So maybe someone actually fixed that one :-)

[*] if you can program TCAM "from scratch" at bootup, I don't see why
you couldn't recover by clearing and reprogramming everything... yes, this
would hurt, but much less than a full reboot, or continuing to software-
forward.
