udp receive errors are due to 3 reasons:

1.	the len of the udp dgram received did not
	match then len reported by the sender in its len
	field.

2.	the udp checksum failed.

3.	the socket receive buffer was full.

if your udp application is under heavy load, it will
in all probability frequently see (3). try increasing
your rcv socket buffer size. (but loss is a way of life
with udp ;)).

if you have kernel syslog messages turned on you would be 
seeing udp checksum failure warning messages or the exact
information on the len difference and related info which might 
allow you to determine a cause, for these first two scenarios..
