The icmp unreach has nothing to do with bge(4). Check whether a
server that listens on an UDP port is still alive on your box.
What worries me is bge(4) watchdog timeouts. It looks like your
controller is BCM5704. I also have bge(4) regression report from
marius on sparc64. He said r213945 seemed to cause the issue and
I'm working on the issue. Could you also try the attached patch?
