	qe0:
	I get the same messages on my system (uVaxII, 16Mb, MSCP emulating 
	SCSI controller (slightly defective I think) and disk, and a DELQA.

	From what I've heard its the result of a workaround hardware bugs
	in the DELQA. Ensure there is some network traffic and it goes
	away, or ifconfig the interface down (maybe). Bugs the hell outa
	me sometimes, but I wouldnt know where to start fixing it :)

	early morning crashes:
	What date of 1.1A - you might want to try the 1.2_ALPHA snapshot
	on ftp.netbsd.org & see if it fixes the problem...
