Actually, it is the same machine which had all sort of deadlock troubles with
the hammer cleanup code.

The main memory is 2GB.

# netstat -m
7/13312 mbufs in use (current/max):
469/6656 mbuf clusters in use (current/max)
257 mbufs and mbuf clusters allocated to data
6 mbufs and mbuf clusters allocated to packet headers
939 Kbytes allocated to network (5% of mb_map in use)
260 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines

The nfs service has not been really used since the last reboot. Should I try
to reproduct the deadlock conditions and monitor netstat -m output ?
