I too get a trap type 'e', running sysV4.0...some mention of this problem
on the net earlier pointed me to the conclusion that it is the ethernet
board we were using...are you using a Western Disgital board (or one 
that uses the wd chipset) if so then I would think that is the problem
(although the software could be more patient) if not then it is a definite
software glitch....

Mostly I get this error on Boot and after adjusting some buffer parameters, 
rarely, if ever get it during normal operation...
