I've seen this before, but on boxes that have nothing to with AFS. I
assume this is a Linux AFS fileserver?

>From looking at this before, I think this just says that we got a UDP
packet whose header says it is 88 octets long, but we only got 73 bytes
of data from the network driver or something. I never really looked too
closely at what caused it... my guess would be either a Linux bug or
something is sending you corrupt packets.

I don't think it's much to worry about as long as that client doesn't
see any problems, and you're not getting flooded with those messages or
anything.
