Crazy suggestion.  Check the memory on your server using memtest or the like.
Those stats you quoted just look very wrong to me, since they numbers are huge
for broadcast and multicast.  I think something in memory is trashed.  Now,
it may be a bug in the driver or somewhere else, but check your memory first.
