   I've seen several reports of mbuf leaks in the specific case of running
squid proxy servers. As I don't have anything remotely resembling that in any
configuration I have here, someone else will have to troubleshoot this one.
It's possible that this might actually be a bug in squid rather than in
FreeBSD. I have really no idea; I've not seen any mbuf leaks in any other
networking use of FreeBSD so it is surprising that one would show up when
doing this.
