discarded oversize frames

I installed 5.3-STABLE a couple weeks back onto what is to become an
office mail server, and after cvsupping to RELENG_5, I began to notice
the following in dmesg:

vr0: discard oversize frame (ether type 800 flags 3 len 1515 > max 1514)

It happens several times after booting, and then about once a minute
after that. At first I suspected the network card itself, so I added an
eepro100 that's always worked fine for me, and then got:

fxp0: discard oversize frame (ether type 800 flags 3 len 1515 > max
1514)

after I had rebooted. Yesterday I cvsupped again (to 5.4-PRERELEASE) and
the warnings still persisted. It doesn't noticeably impact stability or
performance, but it does fill up dmesg rather quickly, and makes the
nightly status emails rather large. Is this something I should be
worried about, or is it indicative of something else faulty in the local
network setup?

I've attached output from dmesg and pciconf, the kernel config is
GENERIC. Please forgive the "eth0" device name, as I have to migrate
several Linux users and it's easier for me to change the interface name
than peruse everyone's homedirs and update their scripts. :)

best,
