are you using them to bridge backets? i.e. do you have 'options
GATEWAY' enabled?

It sounds like you're running out of mbuf space. if you're not
running 'options GATEWAY', you might want to use:
options "NMBCLUSTERS=384"
else if you are running 'options GATEWAY', try:
options "NMBCLUSTERS=768"
That'll bump up your mbuf space by 50%, in either case.
