I have the same problems on 2.3.99-pre9-3 during stress test (Also RH
6.1 based, egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release). And sorry
gcc 2.7.2.3 is way too old). It never happend til yesterday and I did
the same tests for month now.
Under heavy memory stress testing I got:
May 22 15:33:12 localhost kernel: eth0: can't fill rx buffer (force 0)!

eth0: 0 multicast blocks dropped.
(The last message only shows up in dmesg, syslogd did not capture
it. I think it was issued when I said 'ifconfig eth0 down'.)
This looks like some wrong handled oom situation for me (The latest
kernels are a very good tester for that ;-).
