After running a few commands, ssh logins and loading mac_seeotheruids we
now have:
security.mac.debug.label_fallback: 0
security.mac.debug.counters.mbufs: 0
security.mac.debug.counters.creds: 17
security.mac.debug.counters.ifnets: 3
security.mac.debug.counters.ipqs: 0
security.mac.debug.counters.bpfdescs: 0
security.mac.debug.counters.sockets: 7
security.mac.debug.counters.pipes: 2
security.mac.debug.counters.procs: 63
security.mac.debug.counters.mounts: 6
security.mac.debug.counters.temp: 0
security.mac.debug.counters.vnodes: 524
security.mac.debug.counters.devfsdirents: 99

Loading mac_seeotheruids made vnodes increase a little, but it has (very
slowly) been increasing and as you can see is now at 524 (don't know if
this means anything).
