Well, not random, but unpredictable.  It's only happened a couple of
times.

Platform:
Sun 4/60C, SunOS 4.0.3c
2 CDC Wren drives
1 Sun cart tape unit
1 GigaTrend DAT unit
2 Telebit T1000 modems

Here's the message as it appeared in /var/adm/messages:

Sep  6 15:08:45 karazm vmunix: Setting subnet mask to 0xfffff000

The correct mask for us is "0xffff0000".  I checked le0 with ifconfig, and
sure enough, it had been changed.  So I put it back. :-) Any ideas on what
causes this and how I can stop it?
