Okay, it's been running for 30 minutes with Netatalk on (and in use,
although not heavily), and the pings haven't lost a packet
yet. Resposnse time is consistent 0.3-0.4 milliseconds, and I haven't
seen any spurious traffic on the switches. Considering that the
machine used to go absolutely mad within 3 minutes of starting
Netatalk before, I consider the immediate problem solved. What this
does to performance, I have no idea of.

Conclusion: eepro100 v1.03 multicast filtering is still broken.
