I also get the odd one from a FreeBSD box. There are a lot of hops (20 or so) between there and here, but no modems as far as I know. I'm running 2.1.106ac4. I did not see these with 2.0.3x

I've been doing the same. I see maybe 1 a week, always from the same host (I have a fairly active connection to it so it probably isn't too surprising I only see the bad checksum from this host), but it doesn't seem to cause a problem. Doubtless were the rate higher, I would be more concerned.
Cheers,
Mark
