It seems the 4k clusters do not get freed back to the pool after they've

Thus the mbuf freeing after DMA/tx in the bce(4) driver is the prime
suspect.
They don't stay leaked though. Killing the offending process sees
mbuf's eventually returned.
It isn't immediate though. It may be related to timing out existing
socket connections or something?
Try "netstat -n -p tcp -x" to see whether one socket is holding on to
too much data.
I haven't yet brought up the second box enough to start passing test
traffic, so I can't provide any further details than this.
Testing with a different network card would help to narrow down the
area to look for the bug as well.
Can you describe your connection capturing setup some more? Do you
use "ipfw fwd" or some form of NAT?
