We have many VM TCP/IP applications running on
that subnet and it seems to be generating these
messages on SUN.

The most technical explanation came from

Kevin Sheehan <kevin%kalli@fourx.aus.sun.com>

Also Antonis Kyriazis <antonis@intranet.gr> suggested that I
look into network aplications that use VM TCP/IP.
