It's not newreno related, it's a fix that is related to sockets getting
stuck in LAST_ACK when the system is low/out of mbufs.  (And the patch has
been mfc'd to 3 and 4.)

How old is your -STABLE?  The patch was added on June 8th or so.  Although
with your huge number of mbufs, I doubt you ran out an caused the
situation.

OTOH, the high number of mbufs/mbuf clusters you have is almost
worrysome; a netkill on that box could eat up a LOT of memory, which won't
get freed.
