processes state "sokva"

Hi,

I have been running several servers with lighttpd on them and it hasn't 
been a problem until lately. The process enters into a state of "sokva". I 
think this means that it is running out of memory for socket buffers. I 
tried building a kernel with: "option SOSEND_NO_LOAN", and although now it 
didn't give me a state of "sokva", some processes stopped responding. I 
built another kernel with:

options         MAXFILES=16384
options         NMBCLUSTERS=20480
options         DFLDSIZ=402653184
options         SHMMAXPGS=8192
options         SYSVMSG 
options         SYSVSEM 
options         SYSVSHM 
options         MSGMNB=16384
options         MSGSSZ=64
options         MSGTQL=512

But I commented out option SOSEND_NO_LOAN.

I switched to apache, and still I was getting some processes that have a 
state of "sokva". I then "sysctl -w kern.somaxkva=33554432", it has not 
done it since then, but I haven't been pushing it as hard as I was.

I think it could be that my kernel config caused this, or I wonder if 
there could be a mbufs memory leak. Any ideas?

Best Regards,
Al
