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.
