There are two "kinds" of mbufs, to put it simply, mbufs with internal storage (1st item in netstat -m) and mbufs with preallocated external storage (2nd item). Running out of either will cause the error you saw. If you continue to see the problem, you need to increase either the number of mbufs or the number of mbuf clusters, whichever you ran out of.
