[Avila] fatal ethernet error on gw2348-4

Hello folks,
We are running the .06 development kit on our gw2348-4 board.  If we run 
it long enough with even small amounts of ethernet traffic we eventually 
get the following error:

[fatal] ixEthRxFrameProcess: Failed to replenish with filtered frame 
                               on port 0

After this error the port usually does not receive at all but can send. 
  For example, when I ping an ethernet client that has ethereal on, I 
can see the ARP requests, and I can see the client send the ARP 
response, but the board's arp tables do not show ever getting the 
response.  The port stays in this state through unplug/replug of the 
cable.  Sometimes it stays in this state through a reboot command.  It 
always clears up on a full power cycle.  The other ethernet port will 
work when one port is in this state.

Does anyone know what causes this error and how to fix it?

-Ack
