Hello,

I have applied your second patch, to solve an mbuf exhaustion which I see with 
NFS traffic.
I still have the same symptoms : 
after launching over an ssh session a recusrive 'ls' over an NFS disk, the 
-current NFS client is blocked (and complains with 'nfs server truc:/files: 
not responding') - I first saw this when cvs-ing the sources from the same 
shared disk.

I have enclosed the trace showing the mbuf stats :

multi-cur% while (1)
while? sleep 10
while? netstat -m | head -2
while? end
65/460/525 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
64/210/274/3776 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
66/2124/2190 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
64/2016/2080/3776 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
68/3652/3720 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
65/3439/3504/3776 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
67/3908/3975 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
64/3712/3776/3776 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
67/3908/3975 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
64/3712/3776/3776 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)

This isssue is seen on 3 different PCs running recent -current, clients for a 
FreeBSD-6 NFS server (same problem when the NFS server is NetBSD). All 3 
clients have a small RAM, which may be a cause for faster apparition of the 
issue.
