arp, netstat and "no namelist"-problem

On some of my 4.0D-machines I get the following response:
# arp -a
arp: bad namelist
# netstat -r
 no namelist

Others work correctly. In the archives I found the following:

>Yes I had the same problem on DU4.0B. After a reboot, it works ok but
>as soon as I start a complex network application, netstat fails. Note
>that there is no other problems (except the failure of the command).
>This is only the communication between netstat and a daemon that fails...

Is this a bug? Rebooting the machines to get some programs to work sounds
no good. Has anyone got a solution, workaround, something???
