   Fixed? It's not a problem that can be fixed other than trying to make it
dynamic (which would be quite difficult given the current mbuf cluster
allocation scheme). Someone suggested making it a function of maxusers; I
might do this someday. I would guess that you don't have options GATEWAY in
your kernel, and thus the number of mbuf clusters is small enough that you
occasionally hit the in-use limit. You can increase the limit with options
"NMBCLUSTERS=512" (or more if you need).
