This is my fault.
The v1.11 driver has a serious bug: it occasionally does memcpy(*,*,-1)
This bug was not in v1.10, and was fixed in 1.12
I updated the driver, but left the symbolic link to the old driver SRPM.

I have since correct this with
   ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.1.src.rpm
which is a symbolic link to 
   ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.1-2.src.rpm

Note: I have not removed the old source RPMs.
