We have IGS/R running old 8.2(8) software release.  Sometimes it dies 
due a lot of ARP packets.  First it used to die (debug output from
other router on the same ethernet) to the following packets
(sent several times per second):

PROBE: input request 128.214.245.4
IP ARP: rcvd req src 192.98.63.9 0000.0c01.85bc, dst 128.214.245.4
IP ARP: sent rep src 128.214.245.4 0000.0c01.27d7, dst 192.98.63.9 0000.0c01.85bc

After disabling probe arp on the interfaces the system died to:

IP ARP: rcvd req src 192.98.63.9 0000.0c01.85bc, dst 128.214.245.4
IP ARP: sent rep src 128.214.245.4 0000.0c01.27d7, dst 192.98.63.9 0000.0c01.85bc

We are going to update the software but is this a known problem under
8.2(8) ?  What kind of a bug or device in the ethernet might cause
this kind of behaviour ?  (I'm just curious..)
