Bill: The message is documenting the fact that Linux sent a malformed block of packets across the CTCA. The blocks may be up to 32K (32768 bytes) long, so a packet starting at 33134 is clearly an error. The offending packet is at offset 31628 in the buffer.
I presume that there is a mismatch in the buffer size between Linux and VM TCP/IP and hope there is a control you can set on the Linux side to use a buffer size of 32K.
