freebsd security - Sep 2004 - IPFW PULLUP Failed

Greetings all

I keep getting the message on the console "IPFW pullup failed"

I cannot seem to find out what it means or how to correct it any help
would be of great help.  I'm running FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p17

Thank you in advance.

This is probably the wrong list for the question, but the message means that 
IPFW saw a very short/invalid network packet, one so short that there was not 
enough information to create a more useful log entry.  If you're seeing lots
of them, it may be a result of failing network hardware or a cabling glitch.
