I assume you mean when receiving packets, rather than when sending ACKs.

I haven't noticed any problem with TFTP in RedBoot before in general. Assuming
the host resends and you receive it correctly, I'd suggest editing
redboot/v3_0/src/net/udp.c:__udp_handler, and saving the erroneous packet, and
then in tftp_client.c, when acking a packet, check its block number, and if it
matches one saved in udp_handler, then save the correct form of the packet.
Comparing the two saved packets will give you an idea where the corruption is
occurring - at the beginning, end or just randomly anywhere. That may give you
a better idea of where to look for a problem.
Alternatively to avoid the hassle of dealing with TFTP, you could instead look
at using the 'ping' command. Set it to a higher rate using -r (I think the
units are milliseconds) and a large -n, and then use ping to see how reliable
things are there.
Personally I suspect some sort of hardware noise issues in the lines
connecting the STM32 with the DM9000.
