No. Does "someplace in hyperspace", when you look at the resion in memory, look like an ethernet hardware address? Are you running IP firewall? Do you have a reject rule? Are you getting TCP packets in that match the rule? There is (was?) a bug in the IP firewall code that resulted in an input ehter address structure being written to, effectively, random locations on the kernel stack. This is because the stack was used for a structure, and the calling code returned before the scheduled code completed.
