ARP corruption [2.0.33]

I'm seeing a problem where on one host two machines end up with the same
ethernet address in the ARP table.

The settings start out correct but change at some stage.
Other identical hosts don't see the change.
If it was a bogus ARP packet going out over the network, I would expect
all hosts to see it.

This has only started happening recently, we have been running for some
time with basically the same setup.

Any known problems with 2.0.33 that can cause this?
I don't think changing the arp program is likely to help.
The only software that I have upgraded recently is bind.
But bind shouldnt interact with the ARP table.
