mbuffer itself very specifically ends with a broken pipe error. Very quickly 
with s set to 128 or after sometime with s set over 1024.

My only thought at this point is it maybe something with either the myri10ge 
driver or the fact the machines are directly connected with out the use of an 
intervening switch.

I assume the error comes from the sending side? That may mean the receiving process has died. Are there any errors (do you use -v for send and or receive?) reported?

I don't use mbuffer, but do use large buffers to couple zfs sends to receives and I've never seen a broken pipe.
