Agreed, we had this happen on older M20s as well. Depending on your routing 
table, a quick bandaid fix might be to just clean up more specific prefixes if 
you can so that your forwarding table doesn't have as many entries. For 
example, I have had cases where we have a bunch of smaller internal routes in 
RR clients that really didn't need to be there as long as the RR server routers 
had the more specifics. More memory is certainly the long term solution though.

This probably doesn't work precisely because there is insufficient CFEB
memory. We have seen exactly this happen. Sooner or later it probably
*will* impact traffic.

A reload is probably the only fix. And you *really* want to monitor your
CFEB memory utilization (show chassis cfeb).

We are in the process of upgrading all our M7i/M10i CFEBs to 256 MB.
