Most old, non-QPP fixed-optic GE cards have firmware which may result 
in this behaviour.  The card firmware can be updated by JTAC only. 
This is PR29528.

You can check whether a fixed-optic GE firmware is affected by running 
'show pic X firmware' on the FPC and checking that the revision number 
is at least 16 or so..
