I had a nearly identical problem with a Pipeline 130 and posted a question
about it here. The recommendations were to turn off STAC and/or VJ
compression. I turned off STAC, and the problem seems to have gone away. I
haven't seen what turning of VJ will do. Kind of irks me that Ascend would
sell a product that can't *really* do what it says it will do.

That brings up a topic I never seem to have gotten a straight answer about.
Is VJ compression any good at higher bandwidths? What are people's feelings
about VJ compression? What if the same questions are asked about STAC?
