  It's a bug in the display algorithm. I sent patches to BSDI for this and
a bunch of other bha driver fixes, but they didn't show up in the released
BSD/OS 2.1. When I get a chance I'll make a new patch kit for 2.1 and an-
nounce it here.

  In the meanwhile, don't worry - this is just a cosmetic problem and you
are getting 10Mbit/sec.
