We have a small network of Suns here connected to a bridge, which connects
to our campus-wide ethernet. I keep getting the following message on all
of the Suns several times a day:

	ie0: giant packet

What does this mean? I've looked thru every Sun manual I've got & can't
even find where this is mentioned. I'd also like to be able to track down
what machine is sending the 'giant' packet. Would any of the stock SunOS
ether tools be useful for this?
