Sun IPC and Giant Packets

We have a new Sun IPC system here that is complaining about Giant packets
from ff.ff.ff.ff.ff.ff. Using lanwatch I see a 1502 byte packet when this
error happens.  Has anyone heard of a problem with the IPC with packet
sizes?  The largest ether spec packet is 1526, so it seems there is a
problem with the IPC.  No other sun's are complaining.
