When compiling a kernel with MAXMEM set to (128*1024) or (256*1024),
	an error message occurs during boot of the system:

	/kernel: de0 <Digital 21041 Ethernet> rev 17 int a irq 10 on pci0:9
	/kernel: de0: 21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1
	/kernel: de0: address 00:00:c0:94:e7:f8
	/kernel: de0: enabling 10baseT port
	/kernel: de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped
	
	
	This message does not occur when the kernel was compiled without the
	MAXMEM option.

How-To-Repeat: 	
	Problem occurs in various tested hardware confugurations.
	Ethernet cards used were various revisions of SMC EtherPower 10 Combo

	Typical kernel config file to reproduce the problem:
