    In fact, on HP-UX 10.20, Oracle 7.3.3, in listener.log you get:
    
    06-JAN-99 16:15:45 * 12569
    TNS-12569: TNS:packet checksum failure
    
    And tnslistner continues happily along at ~0 CPU usage, it even accepts and
     processes new connections fine.
    
    So its either an Oracle 8/NT thing or a misconfiguration
