Yes.

Longer answer: It's both.  It's hardware not being capable of 
forwarding traffic over certain lines connecting linecards to the 
switch fabrics across the backplane, and these lines not being 
properly taken out of service.  Or queues aren't emptied, possibly 
because you have an overloaded ports, or because packets are stuck 
in transit due to a software bug.

There are a bunch of counters in "show tm stat all" (the 'all' is 
a hidden command) that should not go up rapidly.

You don't mention what software release you're running, but I suggest 
upgrading to the latest 5.4 or 5.5 if you're not on that already.
