I don't think this is 3/4 of the mbufs, is it? Would you suggest
recompiling anyway with a larger number?
ls:~ {2}: netstat -m
54 mbufs in use:
35 mbufs allocated to data
13 mbufs allocated to packet headers
4 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks
2 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
25/102 mbuf clusters in use
210 Kbytes allocated to network (26% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
