Thanks.
On a fresh install of Debian Etch using the SUSE-built debian package: http://ftp.ale.org/pub/mirrors/opensuse/opensuse/repositories/server:/ha-clustering/Debian_Etch/i386/heartbeat_2.1.0-1_i386.deb and with the serial line commented out the errors still occur.

If this isn't the making of heartbeat, what could it be? As soon as I stop the heartbeat service, the errors stop being generated. Moreso, the errors have the 'heartbeat' name in them.

Sorry, I was not clear enough. It is coming from heartbeat. What I
meant is that there's probably something else on your systems
which is causing this to happen. That messaging code is, I
believe, old and should've been well tested by now. Otherwise,
there would have been tons of reports. Or you were really lucky
and stepped on a new bug ;-)

Could this be a problem with something in my system that isn't used except by heartbeat? Would it help if I recompiled the kernel with certain options enabled or disabled?

I doubt that it is the kernel.

At this point I am almost ready to try anything...

I suppose that Alan should be able to advise on the matter.

I just got a note from Lars via Bugzilla that it was probably the remote servers I was pinging mangling the ICMP packets. I changed the 'ping' in ha.cf to the local firewall and the errors stopped printing.

So it's not so much a bug as unclear handling of a problem? Perhaps this is because my servers are behind a NAT'ing iptables firewall? Either way, I am grateful for everyones help and can now *finally* move on with DRBD!
