 Error number 55 is ENOBUFS, ``No buffer space available''.  There are
 a number of possible causes for this error:
 
 1) Your machine is out of mbufs.  Recompile with more.
 
 2) Your network interface is hosed.  Sometimes, if bad things happen
 inside a driver, output packet processing can come to a halt without
 the kernel knowing about it; if this happens when the queue is full,
 it will get stuck.  (I used to see this one a lot when working on my
 experimental polling code.)
 
 3) Your network interface is really busy.  If the messages come only
 intermittently, this is the most likely cause.
