Similar errors are seen: ``` %PLATFORM-4-ELEMENT_WARNING: R1/0: smand: RP/0: Used Memory value 91% exceeds warning level 90%. Top memory allocators are: Process: fed_main_event_fp_1. Tracekey: 1#ee2ea274e974dbe9d698060fbbe1e540 Callsite ID: # (diff_call: 24813). Process: fman_fp_image_fp_1. Tracekey: 1#ce66d09b3767dffb452e8709bef563a5 Callsite ID: # (diff_call: 19729).
