He also said emule clients. Those open *tons* of connections concurently,
all needing NAT state. The number of sessions per client is to some degree
configurable, but mostly not realy obvious.

On the NAT machine, do a "ipnat -l" some time when both clients are active.
The list probably is *long*. I could imagine the NAT state (unswappable
kernel memory) to eat up 32M.
