error on warning about duplicate hardware address

Hi:

An hour ago our ethernet network went down because of the failure of a
switch. It's now working, but I found this on "messages" of one of
my machines (SunOS dcug 5.8 Generic_108528-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2) :

-------------------------------------
Jul 1 17:45:28 name ip: [ID 903730 kern.warning] WARNING: IP: Hardware
address '00:03:ba:10:53:db' trying to
be our address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx!
-------------------------------------

The address listed is the real address of "eri0", so the machine is warning
about it's own address. Anyone has experienced this before?

Thank you.

Adam
