	Out of curiosity, is anything regarding the exhaustion of mb_map
  being logged to /var/log/messages ? If not, chances are that this is not
  directly related to an mbuf exhaustion -- the panic, that is, because if
  mb_map hasn't even been exhausted, then you still potentially have space
  to allocate from (this is the way it presently works) and the panic is
  unlikely to be related to an mbuf pointer being NULL and mis-treated.
