   Did the machine hang or something? There is a 4 hour delay between the
mb_map full message and the reboot. 'mb_map full' shouldn't cause the machine
to crash, although it can cause the network to go dead for awhile. To increase
the mb_map add:

options "NMBCLUSTERS=2048"

to your kernel config file. With maxuser at 40, you currently have configured
a limit of about 1150 mbuf clusters...and this isn't enough in your case.
