This looks an awful lot like something I was seeing during early testing while adding locking to the mbuf system. Try `netstat -m' to see how many mbuf clusters are allocated. I would guess that the system is unable to allocate clusters reliably. In my case, at the time, I had forgotten to change a pointer dereference to meet the new structure, and thus it just worked out that after allocating the initial amount of clusters, nothing more was possible to allocate. I haven't seen this problem after fixing my mistake, nor before introducing it. None of the work I mentionned has been committed at any point in time (yet), so the problem can only be similar, at best (in any case, a `netstat -m' should offer a clue).
