Jerry & Sam,
Yes I've heard this before too. You should definitely take a look at that as well.

Sam,
Is it single-mode fiber runs? If it is, it could be the
attenuation on the fiber is not
enough and the TX on port 1 on your Sw 1 is burning out the RX on your Sw 2.
This happened to my network 1 time when someone ran a single-mode fiber for
on a 1 meter jumper in between a router
and a Lightstream 1010. This is way out of spec and yet it ran fine for over
2 years until the PAM on
the LS1010 couldn't take it anymore and just burnt out. Worth a look.
