This happens to a fraction of the users and unfortunately I don't know a solution offhand. The last suggestion was to check `netstat -m' and see how many mbuf clusters are in use and the max value. If the max is within 3/4 of the total maxiumum (default 255?) then you need to increase the number by compiling your kernel with `options NMBCLUSTERS=XXXX'. Something is running out of memory or is leaking memory.
