Mine does this sometimes and it is a real one (not a clone) on
a 486/33. After one spate of this it seems to have calmed down
and is OK most of the time, I have it on a fairly busy net and
put it down to it getting confused with too much traffic (easier
than trying to figure out what is really wrong ;-)).
