Some time back, my SE/30 running 1.1 used to produce the same error from
time to time.  I don't recall what triggered the error, but I seem to
remember that a full power-off and reboot would eliminate the error
message. 

I never did notice any problems that resulted from the NIC memory corrupt
error, so I didn't worry about it too much.

I was using an Asante SE/30-type NIC and the machine was rather busy.
