Ziv, There are two issues here;
1. your core concern - software forced crash 2. the secondary concern - parity errors To troubleshoot the software forced crash, Cisco will need extra information like the crashinfo files, steps to recreate, sh tech and logs. While waiting for these data, I'm sure if you tell Rodney the IOS image running on this box, he'll be able to take a look at IOS source code to shed further light on why and when we call %SYS-1-MTNOTFENCED - which by the way is a pretty serious error per it's severity - 1. The natural first step resolution for multiple parity errors is to replace the memory. Shalom eninja ps. FYI most people on this list don't have visibility into IOS internals hence their silence of these types of issues.
