I posted a similar question last week, to no avail. I too am getting the very same kernel messages, however, If it helps, I'm -not- running GateD. The system runs FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE, IPFW with Dummynet, and Squid-2.1-RELEASE... at the start I suspected that squid was the culprit. Also, the box appears to be dirtly rebooting itself every few days. The (neg refs) messages are the only ones left in /var/log/messages. Could this be a contributing factor? Sadly, I've not been sat at the console at the time it's crashed out yet, so I haven't got any other error output. Could you perhaps shed any more light on the matter?
