Good question. I did some digging and came up with this:
[ENOBUFS] The system was unable to allocate an internal
buffer. The operation may succeed when buffers become available.
That's from the sendsyslog(2) man page. If you look in sys/sys/errno.h
you can see the ENOBUFS is 55.
That specific message comes from sys/kern/subr_log.c [2]
Within there it's hard to guess, but sosend(9) might be the culprit[3].
Anyway, low memory?
