Socket overflow errors

Does anyone get errors like these ? I have two cisco 6513 switches that constantly complain of socketc overflows on udp port 161 (SNMP) from my solarwinds server. This is a real pain and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this ???

Cheers

A massive problem I really wish they would fix it surely cant be that hard.

see "Cisco Catalyst monitoring" below.

This is actually a Cisco bug. Here's more info on it.

Cisco BUG ID CSCdt86655 Bug Details
Some Cisco Catalyst switches with older software levels and supervisor engines, including Catalyst 4000s, 5000s, and 6000s, require at least a one millisecond delay between successive SNMP gets. Without this delay, the Catalyst will output the following console/syslog message:

2001 Mar 30 14:03:53 %IP-3-UDP_SOCKOVFL:UDP socket 1034 overflow

The 1034 is the SOURCE port number with the Destination being 161 (SNMP). The SOURCE port will change depending upon what the host device choose to use.

Even though this happens, it does not seem to effect the performance of the box and in fact does reply to each message.
