   Just for the record:  As expected this issue is reproducible on 
 9.1-RELEASE:
 
 # uname -a
 FreeBSD atlas 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #1 r247851M: Wed Mar  6 
 11:17:43 UTC 2013 
 jcharbon@atlas:/usr/obj/app/jcharbon/9.1.0/sys/GENERIC  amd64
 
   Enable TCP debug log:
 
 # sysctl net.inet.tcp.log_debug=1
 
   Load enough a TCP service and due to ixgbe race conditions between 
 ixgbe_msix_que() and ixgbe_handle_que(), you will get:
 
 Mar  7 10:01:04 atlas kernel: TCP: [192.168.100.21]:12918 to 
 [192.168.100.152]:8080; syncache_socket: in_pcbconnect failed with error 48
 Mar  7 10:01:04 atlas kernel: TCP: [192.168.100.21]:12918 to 
 [192.168.100.152]:8080 tcpflags 0x10<ACK>; tcp_input: Listen socket: 
 Socket allocation failed due to limits or memory shortage, sending RST
 Mar  7 10:01:04 atlas kernel: TCP: [192.168.100.21]:12918 to 
 [192.168.100.152]:8080 tcpflags 0x4<RST>; syncache_chkrst: Spurious RST 
 without matching syncache entry (possibly syncookie only), segment ignored
 
   We will provide our current fix patch for 9.1-RELEASE.
