Not suprisingly, it looks like the bridge code is causing this.  After
running for 5 days with bridging, `vmstat -m` showed a total of 2292K
allocated (41 mbufs).  The numbers were increasing at a rate of about 30K
and 10 mbufs per day.  About 15 hours ago, I turned on ipf and the figures
have now jumped to 3124K and 3110 (!) mbufs.
