I'd suspect the network card(s) here. Especially if it's only occurring
under busy network traffic. What kind of NIC are you using, and what
driver?
You may also want to check out some compiled maxs. mbufs could be
suspect, but I wouldn't think running out of mbufs would result in a
freeze. What does netstat -m show?
