Others have commented on the arp messages, so I'll just mention this.
That's likely to be the tail end of "file: table is full", which means
that you had too many files open at once, and a request to open another
file failed. If this was a one off error, you may be able to forget
about it, but if it happens repeatedly, I'd suggest you bump up maxusers
in your kernel since it may be causing problems. (Not *too* high though,
I gather that can cause problems. Anything up to 128 should be safe.)
