I've rechecked the output of netstat -m occasionally since then, and I
haven't seen them go down at all--only steadily increase. As of
typing this email, the output is:
$ netstat -m
3616 mbufs in use:
3593 mbufs allocated to data
6 mbufs allocated to packet headers
17 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
855/870/6144 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
2656 Kbytes allocated to network (98% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
