Subject: why are there messages like assertion ((int)tcp_packets_in_flight(tp)...

We get these messages in the log from time to time:

assertion ((int)tcp_packets_in_flight(tp) >= 0) failed at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c (1274)

What do they mean? Is there a way to get rid of them? They usually
appear at high net traffic periods.

This is with a forcedeth chip, in case it's relevant.
