VTY stuck on 6500

Does anyone know of any bugs in 6500 Sup720 code 12.2(33)SXH7 for stuck VTY sessions?  We ended up having to reboot a dual supervisor Sup720 as we had a stuck VTY session.

A telnet session didn't disconnect cleanly and I couldn't clear it either with "clear line <line no>" or "clear tcp <tcb no>". I also tried changing the vty settings but that didn't do it either. The problem was that the session hung after issuing a "wr mem" so after that I couldn't view the running or startup config.

I got this error message .....

"Unable to get configuration. Try again later."

The logs were reporting this.....

Also, some Mitel servers attached to the switches were reporting continuous spanning tree topology changes.

I switched to the secondary supervisor ok but then when the other supervisor reloaded it couldn't access the config from the active one so wouldn't sync up and kept rebooting itself!

Reloading both supervisors fixed it but it would be good to know if there's a workaround?

Forgot to say, switching to the other supervisor cleared the stuck VTY but as the two cards wouldn't sync the config I had to reload both of them anyway to fix that.

Is there a crash info written in your flash?

"dir bootflash" will show you that

Also, SXH is pretty old.  You probably want to upgrade to SXI or even SXJ if your memory and flash can support it.

No, there are no crash files.

I think we'll need to upgrade so I'll have a look for a suitable image to use.
