--- Comment #1 from bobf@mrp3.com ---
It appears that one other factor may be involved.

As I recall, the problem is NOT showing up when the icecast server isn't
running, while being fed an audio stream by 'ices'.

Often I was leaving this running even when I wasn't listening to the stream=
 on
a streaming radio that's on my LAN.  However, lately, I've been shutting off
the audio feed by killing 'ices' (icecast remains running).

The installed packages are:  icecast2-2.4.3,1  ices-2.0.2_3,1

In the past I have seen some odd performance-related problems with transfer=
ring
large amounts of data over 'localhost', with applications like iperf (stall=
s,
lost packets and 'out of buffer space' and similar problems, basically).  I
have not attempted to reproduce this in FBSD-11 however, but if the stack
hasn't changed much this COULD be related.

When ices feeds icecast with content, I'm pretty sure it uses localhost to =
do
it.  If not, it's probably using a socket or a pipe.  Whichever case this i=
s,
it's running for DAYS or even WEEKS sometimes, possibly with leakage, or
internal corruption, or something else.

A typical trigger for the reported problem is a video-related event, such as
switching from full screen video back to whatever video mode the GUI is usi=
ng.=20
In a few cases it has been caused by attempting to open up a new firefox wi=
ndow
or a new tab within firefox (i.e. following a link from something else, suc=
h as
an e-mail).

It's possible that it's "the trigger" PLUS the socket/pipe/whatever that
ices+icecast is using.

It's also possible that it's just creating a rare condition within memory or
the kernel configuration that surfaces a bug.

But if it _IS_ network stack related, particularly with the 'localhost'
adaptor, then this information might be helpful in isolating a potentially =
big
problem.
