I had the same issue. Turns out that the presence of the 'colon' character triggers your error. You can reproduce the error message by typing in on the command line in a vty. Login in to the device and type 'garbage' and then 'garbage:'. Only the second command with a colon produces the %Error 9.

In your case, it looks like some one copied the output of a tcpdump command into the wrong window.

Probably nothing to worry about.

A deeper question is, what is the parser looking for? What is the meaning of colon in this context? I don't know.
