    OK, yes, it's there. I'm working across a modem phone line from home
    so I don't really have as much access to the source as you think ...
    I only saw the messages because I keep rebooting the machine to test
    some kernel code :-(.

      options eepro100 debug=3 multicast_filter_limit=3

    I believe the condition just cured itself! But the timer must be wrong.
    This is a busy net, and I receive mail from at least the kernel list
    every few seconds! Plus log files from every machine in the department.
    What does it think is a "Long Time" (TM)?

    Thanks!
