Steve: I ran ifconfig lo, and the error messages seemed to slow down
dramatically, until I rebooted... then there was a flurry of the messages
again, and now almost stopped. The confusing thing, is that I haven't
changed anything in terms of hardware/software.

Could it be the netmask, or maybe the arp cache got overloaded from a lot of
traffic? Obviously, I'm grasping.

I'll let you know whatever I find.

ps -- about the irq 31, I have another identical machine with the same
setting that is working perfectly...
