Okay. I got rid of rwhod. It sends a query to broadcast which results in
a storm from the 10.x.x.x M$Garbage machines. It apprears that this
storm is the culprit.

I have restarted the network a few thousand times with a shell-script
doing :
        ifconfig eth0 down
        kill -TERM -1
        sh /etc/rd.d/rc.inet1
        sh /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2

        ... and the M$Garbage machines that were having trouble didn't
croak.
