For once, it's something I expected :) I just hope it isn't one of
those cases where Kris absolutely cannot reproduce it and arrives at

I'm not sure, but from what I understood of Robert Watson's
explanation in the big ZFS thread on -current, maybe increasing
kmem_size (exactly as for ZFS...) could help you with these buffers.
