I have a lingering problem of a slow mbuf leak somewhere on my system that I
need help tracking down. After upgrading to 3.9 I've noticed an mbuf leak.
Haven't seen anything about this in the mailing lists so far.

It occurs somewhat slowly, but eventually leads to bigger problems with the
network (can vaiguely explain if anyone wishes). I've started to track the
network memory usage through the daily outputs. This morning my firewall
just shutoff completely (no core dump or ddb prompt, just off). Here's a
somewhat shortened list of the memory usage over the 14 day uptime:

------------------------------

Nothing in the current changelog shows an mbuf leak fix for the realtek
drivers. I noticed there were some changes to rl between 3.8 and 3.9,
though...

Custom sysctl settings:
net.inet.ip.forwarding -> 1 (I'm running pf)
vfs.nfs.iothreads -> 4
kern.emul.linux -> 1

Daemons reported by rc:
syslogd, named, isakmpd, portmap, mountd, nfsd, ntpd, dhcpd, sendmail,
httpd, ftpd, ftp-proxy, inetd, sshd

Sorry for the long email, but any further help or advice in tracking this
down would be greatly appreciated.
