Found the boot buffer command to extend the buffers - but this doesn't seem to have the desired effect. The buffer overflow point seems to vary on every attempt. Also messing with the service compress-config, but I take it that this will only have an effect once the config is already on?? Found the following related bug for 7200's but found nothing for 2500's yet.
