Hi,

I'm looking to add back in the "allocation failed; please consider
increasing NMBCLUSTERS" message which seemed to have disappeared. I
know its bitten me more than once and I've seen it pop up on the
FreeBSD lists from time to time. The symptom isn't very obvious - all
networking just stops and you wonder whether your network card is to
blame.

Would m_getm() be an appropriate place to notice failure and log a message?
