Since you say "everything just picks up right where it left off"
after an "mb_map full" message, I assume the machine hasn't lost the
network? On the two occasions that it has happened on a machine here,
I had to reboot to get network access back. No pings were going out,
and it would not respond to incoming pings. All the netstat displays
looked normal and it *should* have been able to communicate with the
outside world, but it wasn't.
