I was just looking at a similar problem on john klos's cobalt box last night:

Name        Size Requests Fail Releases Pgreq Pgrel Npage Hiwat Minpg Maxpg Idle
mbpl         256  2030774    0  2013827  2924  1691  1233  1321     1   inf    0

# netstat -m
16540 mbufs in use:
        16538 mbufs allocated to data
        2 mbufs allocated to packet headers

16540 mbufs in use:
        16538 mbufs allocated to data

definitely a leak somewhere.  this case was on 2.1_RC3.
we have a dump if anyone wants to look at it.
