Yeah, I've gotten it also and on 4.x as well.  It occurred on
both de and fxp devices as well.  The box is a router with 4
or 5 interfaces which are nowhere near fully loaded.  We only
get this problem on the interface that is connected to a hub;
all other interfaces are on switches.

It is annoying because it happens once every week or two.
