I noticed a bunch of SGIs logging errors such as
  Aug  6 16:28:19 W20-575-124.MIT.EDU unix: WARNING: ARP: MAC address is 0 for IP address 18.187.0.175
  Aug  6 16:28:19 W20-575-122.MIT.EDU unix: WARNING: ARP: MAC address is 0 for IP address 18.187.0.175

It seems to be that they're complaining about stage4.mit.edu, which
appears to be an Athena sun that claims to have a hardware address of
all zeroes (frotzed motherboard, or something?).

It's not causing any particular problem, beyond noise in the logs, but
I figured you might want to know about it.
