I'm seeing on several machines a leak of mbufs.  This started the middle of 
last week.  It was much worse last week than it is now; apparently a set 
of commits to tcp_* on Monday fixed part (the gradual part) of the problem.  
Now things run steadily for a day or two and *suddenly* run out of mbufs no 
matter what I set nmbclusters to.


I just started witnessing the same problem as well.
