I was one of the ones reporting this issue on i386.  I run a couple of 
fairly busy webservers and they were both encountering this every 1-2 
days.  Recompiling with SOSEND_NO_LOAN solved the problem and it's not 
happening anymore.  However, I think a fix for this was checked in to 
-current sometime after 1.6ZF.  So you shouldn't be seeing it after 
that, in theory.
