I tested it on two CURRENT boxes.

No panics, no crash, nothing in the syslog, just weird packets over the
wire.  I could still type through my ssh connections, use top.  Albeit a
bit more slowly.

Could be that the 10 MB segment (connecting the machines in that segment
with a hub) could saturated too much.

Also, when running stream I got these from the program:

jess: No buffer space available
jess: No buffer space available
jess: No buffer space available
jess: No buffer space available

Which seems that there's some throttling going on due to no buffers
being free.

Also netstat -m on both boxes isn't scary to behold and the nbmclusters
are in the range of 1500.

Just some observations,
