I ran into those late last night.  My memory is a little hazy, but I
_think_ I decided they were coming from the le0 driver (with a DEC DE-203
card).  Is that by any chance what you are using?  My system is busy doing
a single-user make world at the moment, so I can't double check that.

Most of the time my problem was much worse: it simply stopped transmitting
or receiving anything through the Ethernet card, sometimes complaining that
no buffers were available.  I was setting up demand-dialed ppp at the time,
and it seemed like there was some interaction between ppp and the Ethernet
problems, but there is no firm evidence of that.

This was all on 3.1-RELEASE.  I picked up 3.1-STABLE today and once I've
got it running I will investigate further.
