Looking for help... Here at Hopkins we have 26 lanbridge 100's.  Lately
we have seen occurences where all of them acquire a bogus forwarding
entry for the multicast address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF to an invalid destination.

Doing a remove known bridges address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF with RBMS clears 
the problem for a day or two, sometimes longer.  I seem to recall some 
discussion of this in this newsgroup eons ago.  I have looked for an
offensive packet without success and my gut-level feeling is that is
a Lanbridge problem (possibly eco or firmware).  Anyone have anything
of help?
