This is a problem which occurs during heavy load on the ethernet. We
experienced this problem here too.  The bad thing about this "interrupt
lost" is, that there is no way to recover from, except processor
interrupt/reboot.  We were told by Sun Switzerland to upgrade to SunOS
3.5.1.  Having done this, the problem went away.
