OTOH there's the bug that "sufficiently old" IOS versions just do not
*show* output drops due to insufficient queue...  bit us on 2960 
("why are people complaining about choppy audio if we see no drops" -
upgraded IOS, suddenly had visible drops, and still choppy audio...)

The amount of dysfunctionality in Cisco counters sometimes makes me
wonder if there's a separate department responsible for "interesting 
bugs"...  (so people have something to tell over a beer - after all,
even *bad* publicity is "I have heard that name before"...)
