I have a Sun X2200 running nv103 plus an L2 filtering BFU (including 
crossbow from 11/29). Freshly booted, no filter rules, no vnics, no 
vlans, only bge1 with a default configuration:

> bge1: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 
> 6
>         inet 192.168.2.16 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 192.168.3.255
>         ether 0:16:36:8e:e:f1 

Several times today, a few minutes after reboot, the system has stopped 
responding to network traffic. If I unplumb and replumb bge1, traffic 
returns. (If I don't, then a few minutes later the service processor 
also stops responding, so I have to power cycle the system.)

I've run snoop on the console while pinging this system from another. 
When ping stops responding I look at the snoop output. The three times 
I've tried this procedure, the last packet is always a (gratuitous?) ARP 
on a vlan:

>  15   0.84427 VLAN#42: OLD-BROADCAST -> (broadcast)  ARP C Who is 
> 192.168.123.29, 192.168.123.29 ?

The sending system runs nv101a, and is likely the only system on the 
subnet plumbed for a vlan.

Any clues what's going wrong?
