Funny you should write now.  I noticed green's MFC of a fix for mbuf
leaks and was trying RELENG_5 from this morning.  Alas,  it does not
fix my problem.

I just tried that and it looks like the leakage stays rougly the same.
It seems to be roughly 100-150 mbufs/second with this setup.

I hooked up the em0 GbE interfaces, and that leaks nearly as bad as
my myrinet nic (at least with a linux sender, hooked back-to-back).
Em0 seems to be leaking at a few thoundsand pkts/sec, so I wasn't brave
enough to do a long run..
