Yet another complaint about "[SRX5308][Kernel][KERNEL] Port 0 receive error code 10, packet dropped"

Forums have tons of complaints about "[SRX5308][Kernel][KERNEL] Port 0 receive error code 10, packet dropped" flood in the logs and no real solutions, but my case is most astonishing: I don't even have WAN ports connected to anything now!!! (Using device as a local router/DHCP server, LAN1 is also empty BTW.) Yet I receive 3 lines like this approximately every minute, at irregular intervals. Is there any way to stop this insanity?

 

(Firmware 4.3.5-3 if that still matters.)

    Hi rqc,

     

    Since nothing is connected to the WAN ports, I suggest you to perform a factory reset on the SRX5308 then reconfigure the settings from scratch.  Observe if the same logs will still show up.

      Actually, this device was already factory reset and configured from scratch about 2 weeks ago. I cannot experiment with it right now, but when I can I'll check when these messages first appear after factory reset and report back. Still it's funny exact underlying cause for them is not understood by anyone.
