I'm was getting the same thing on my Powerbook 550c.  I've managed to cut
down ( but not eliminate! ) this problem by adding "-trailers" to disable
trailers on the sn0 interface. I haven't had my PB lock up since I did
that.  I just noticed that if I did enable trailers, the machine would
hang after about 2-3 minutes of ethernet traffic. 

Hope this helps a little.
