Hmm. Interesting. You may need to go -hackers for this... Apparently a socket buffer is claiming to use a negative amount of space. Offhand I'd guess that it wrapped around, but there seem to be checks in place to avoid that. It's something running as root, which should help you track it down (most network daemons should be run as other users anyway). Glibert, What is -hackers? freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org?
