In most Unix kernels I've diddled with (and I can't say for
sure about FreeBSD), and cluster count numbers (here as
128/132) should be labelled "in use" and "allocated".  The
limit for "allocated" (4096) is not given by netstat -m in
most cases, since that's not kept in the tables that netstat
-m examines.

In other words, the 132 is simply the current high-water
mark for cluster allocations.
