I've had to disable these warnings on my KA650 with a DELQA, because
they were so frequent as to be quite irritating when using the
console.  They seemed to come more often the less active the network
was: I'd get the highest frequency of overrun messages when neither
the VAX nor anything else was doing anything on the network, other
than the occasional rwho packet.

Isn't that just the good old "panic every night" thing that NetBSD/vax
has been doing "forever"?  I disabled the nightly fsck, and it went
away.  (On the intel port, the nightly fsck will sometimes dump core,
but on the VAX it seems to quite repeatably panic the machine.)
