Did any of the last src upgrades make a change that might cause me to get
this error...

I'm guessing I'm just getting DoS'd, but was wondering if this was maybe
related to FreeBSD-SA-03:21.tcpip which allowed the remote attacker to
exploit the routing table and take up memory thus freezing the system.

I ask because I had an uptime over 200+ days and never got these msg's on
the last kernel and now I see them quite frequent and don't know where
else they could come from.

I appear to stay stable and have not been dropped from these errors, but
they are rather large and re-occurring.
