This message comes from scp when it detects it received corrupted
frames. This means sender transmitted corrupted frames or the host
receiving the frame broke it.

I think there is no vge(4) source changes between 7.2-RELEASE and
8.0-RELEASE so I guess other kernel changes in 8.0-RELEASE might
reveal driver bug. Would you try latest vge(4) in stable/8? There
were a lot code changes including important bug fixes.
