:Some more info on this:
:
:netstat -m, after the "lockup" of the em driver shows:
:
:533/5533/80000 mbufs in use
:532/1532/20000 mbuf clusters in use
:
:So there really shouldn't have been any failure to get a replacement 
:buffer in the first place. The max clusters is interestingly exactly
:1000 clusters over the idle amount, and mbufs is exactly 5000
:more, which can't be a coincidence. Could there be some sort of 
:threshold in play here?

    That's not what is running out.  Do a vmstat -m.  I'll bet the
    mbuf memory hopper that mbufs are actually allocated out of is
    full.
