IPv4 total length exceeds packet length - always 8.0.69.0!

Hi everyone, my first post on here :) I have a problem... we are capturing packets off the wire in our network but are getting a lot of "IPv4 total length exceeds packet length" errors and always from, 8.0.69.0. This IP is spurious and the destination seems to be 0.x, 5.x or 1.x, i.e. not valid either. Some googling seems to suggest that others have also seen 8.0.69.0 when working with GRE/NAT scenarios. Does anyone have any idea at all what this might be please? I'm not allowed to attach files on here at the moment unfortunately :(
