I too have experienced this problem. Kernel 2.1.35 on a 486/40,
3c509, IDE, Network aliasing and IP aliasing support, no modules. I got
about 250 of these, then the system just died. No ping response, no
console response, no ctl-alt-del, had to hard boot. Got similar errors
but far fewer on my workstation. Obviously quite directly related to
network load.
