If memory serves me right, sometime around 9:37am, Pieter de Goeje told me:

we are using onboard NICs on the Dell using the bce driver.  We did try 
several times to see if using an intel PCIexpress card using the em 
driver, and we had the same symptoms.

Could the bce driver have the same leak?

Thanks!
