When I try to make 240 bundles, from the log, it seems mpd is makeing
all the nodes ok, but when I try to establish a connection nothing
happens, no respons, nothing in the log, and mpd is frozen and needs to
be killed with kill -9. And then it leaves 720 nodes behind which needs
to be removed manually.

When I create 240 bundles, mpd creates 720 netgraph nodes.
Is there a limit on how many nodes the netgraph system can handle?
Where is the netgraph system defined? i can find the modules under
/usr/src/sys/modules/netgraph, but I can't find the 'netgraph base system'.
