This is a symptom of an rpc.statd linux attack.  It probably says something 
like "rpc.statd: invalid hostanme to sm_stat: ^PM-^PM-^PM.... " for about six 
lines.  As far as I understand, our version of rpc isn't vulnerable to this.  
I haven't (yet) figured out how to block this in ipf.  Anyone have any 
pointers?
