Sorry, I misread the vmstat output you posted - there is another
problem that has been seen a bit recently where the allocations of
FFS inodes reach the malloc limit, causing everything to get stuck
waiting to malloc inodes. Switching to the zone allocator would
help in that case, but the problem you are experiencing is different.
