 We're not doing any q-in-q or mpls. There is nothing unusual about this
 config at all. I'm stumped! To make matters even more entertaining, I just
 checked the other switch in this pair of
 switches:
 
  0 runts, 1894463 giants, 0 throttles
  1894463 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
 
 That switch has the exact same trunk connection to a different 7600 and it
 is also seeing input errors. I'm starting to think it's a bug in the 4948
 code and maybe it's just misreporting somehow. It's very strange.

Actually it is a recurring feature that shows up from time to time in various 
platforms/versions. Years ago it was fairly common.
Since you are tagging on the interface you are exceeding the 1518 ethernet mtu 
hence it reports an error. 
As you are not dropping (except for the overruns) It is just cosmetic.
You can try and raise the MTU settings, or look to see if there is a bug on bug 
tracker matching your version.


Regards

Brian

Would double tagging (qnq) sitting atop g3/3 (service instances or svi's)
cause this?  Or mpls-enabled svi's sitting on top of g3/3 perhaps ?
