We have several Sun 3 and Sun 4 workstations on a large ethernet site
network here at TI.  Some  are running Sun OS 3.5  and some are running
Sun  OS  4.0.   Most  display  the  following error message on the
console:

	ieo: giant packet

What does this mean?  Any tips or information as to how I can go about
fixing this problem would be appreciated.
