Drop maxusers to 128 and make sure you're running a > recent -STABLE. Isn't this going to cause problems with the recent "maxusers 0" code? IIRC, that sets maxusers equal to the amount of RAM, in MB, with low/high limits of 32/512. So a 512MB system with "maxusers 0" is going to behave as though it had been configured with "maxusers 512".
