Your kernel ran out of memory for network buffer (mbuf).
If you get only one in a while, don't bother. Otherwise you can recompile
a kernel with
options NMBCLUSTERS=2048
in the kernel config file. You can adjust the value, default value is 256,
or 512 if your kernel config file has 'options GATEWAY'.
