I'll believe that. I've testing this out on a couple other hardware
platforms using similar Intel NICs and have not seen these problems. I'm
also seeing the machine lock up when I try to initialize a 3rd network
interface. Not sure what to look for though.

Installed. Did not see any "transmit timed out" message this time.
Without my program running, I see the following in /var/log/debug:
Apr 4 12:48:29 btstipc kernel: eth1: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 12:48:31 btstipc kernel: eth0: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 12:48:31 btstipc kernel: eth1: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 12:48:37 btstipc last message repeated 3 times
Apr 4 12:48:39 btstipc kernel: eth0: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 12:48:39 btstipc kernel: eth1: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
After I've started my program, I see:
Apr 4 12:49:13 btstipc kernel: eth0: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 12:49:49 btstipc last message repeated 4 times
Apr 4 12:50:59 btstipc last message repeated 11 times
Apr 4 12:51:59 btstipc last message repeated 14 times
Apr 4 12:53:01 btstipc last message repeated 10 times
Apr 4 12:54:01 btstipc last message repeated 13 times
Apr 4 12:55:01 btstipc last message repeated 8 times
....
Until the eth1 interface locks up, at which point I see:
Apr 4 13:19:01 btstipc last message repeated 12 times
Apr 4 13:19:03 btstipc kernel: eth1: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 13:19:05 btstipc kernel: eth1: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 13:19:07 btstipc kernel: eth0: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 13:19:07 btstipc kernel: eth1: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Apr 4 13:19:09 btstipc kernel: eth1: Sending a multicast list set command
from a timer routine.
Which makes sense I suppose, since eth1 is no longer seeing any received
packets it starts to trigger the receiver lockup fix.
Again, startup message is:
Apr 4 12:45:42 btstipc kernel: eepro100.c: Debug level is 3.
