there are 3 switches in the stack.

Attached was only bit the tech pulled via serial console..

My guess is that the switch designated Master is the unit with an issue.  If one could access long enough the re-designate one of the other members as Master the problem should be minimized.  Yes?

To get this working stable you really need to power down the whole stack.

Your have almost certainly hit a software bug.  I would upgrade the stack to a gold star release after you power cycle it.

Someone will get the privilege of rebooting the stack this weekend.

weather or not we move from c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-2.E3.bin to 152-2.E6.bin is another item.

However, since these have a life-time hardware warrantee, Management elected not to put them on maintenance contract.. I have a few hundred of the things,  soooo  TAC could not talk to me about it but they could replace it!

It will be here next week.

Life-time warranty is for hardware, but you still need service/smartnet contract to download IOS and upgrade, if not you have to replace the hardware every time you have a software issue and hope you get a new hardware with a different IOS. Someone needs to educate the management.

system restarted without issue..  19% memory load (not 98%)

gold star'd image pre-loaded on all stack members for use upon the next occurrence.

until now, my 73 stacks on E3 code have been functioning just fine.

Thank you all

This indicative of an IOS bug.  

Upgrade the IOS of the entire stack and see if there are any improvements.
