I thought about removing this reference but then decided that better
to add a couple of words to tuning(7) man page (and didn't add).

but I can't seem to find anything in tuning(7) about it ... so, what
is it and how do I monitor for it?

kern/sys_pipe.c:

* In order to limit the resource use of pipes, two sysctls exist:
*
* kern.ipc.maxpipekva - This is a hard limit on the amount of pageable
* address space available to us in pipe_map. This value is normally
* autotuned, but may also be loader tuned.
*
* kern.ipc.pipekva - This read-only sysctl tracks the current amount of
* memory in use by pipes.

See my other note, but I take it just adding:

kern.ipc.maxpipekva=25165824

and reboot is the wrong thing to do, since the server didn't come back :(
