Yup - get these quite often on my token-ring based system at work. I don't know if it is a bug in the driver that triggers it, but it often begins with an "ASB not free!" message from the tr-driver. After that the socket destroy messages start, and networking transmits from the Linux box halts. Receive appears to work still. Only remedy I know of is rebooting, which my software watchdog now does.
Hardware is an IBM 16/4 ISA adapter, in a Compaq 486/66 ProLinea w/ 20 MB RAM, IDE disks. Apart from the token-ring card, nothing unusual.
I've been reluctant to point the blame on the tcp code or the driver, since our network environment at work is rather ... unusual.

H.J.Lu appears to have quite a lot of duplicated packets when running over a 28.8 PPP link, judging from his post on linux-gcc.
