This is bad. On the CD under the IOS/supporting docs you can find a giant
list of error messages and what they mean. Here is a link right to OSPF
error messages:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12supdoc/12s
ems/emnetclk.htm#xtocid25854

Error Message
%OSPF-4-BADLSATYPE: Invalid lsa: [chars] Type [dec], LSID [int] from [int],
[int], [chars]
Explanation The router received a link-state advertisement (LSA) with
invalid LSA Type. The cause is either memory corruption or unexpected
behavior on a router.

Recommended Action From a neighboring address, locate the problem router
and reboot it. To determine what is causing this problem, call your Cisco
technical support representative for assistance.

I'm not sure about the message, but if your receiving type 4's from an NSSA
area, something is out of wack given types 4/5 are not permited in NSSA
areas. Are you sure you have all your routers connected to the area
properly configured as NSSA?
