Hey folks,

My Sparc2 running netbsd 1.4 had been puttering along smoothly for a good 500
days or so, and then all of a sudden with the past few weeks it's panicked and
rebooted with the following in /var/log/messages:

Apr  9 08:17:01 silence /netbsd: WARNING: mclpool limit reached; increase NMBCLU
STERS
Apr  9 08:18:06 silence /netbsd: WARNING: mclpool limit reached; increase NMBCLU
STERS

Reading through mailing list archives, i found a specific reference to this on
the alpha-port list, with the instruction to use sysctl to chaneg the value of
kern.mbuf.nmbclusters - however, it doesn't appear as though this is an actual
variable, at least not on sparc.

Any ideas as to A) why this is happening, and B) how i can fix it?

thanks,
matt
