It may be the case, but I haven't found out what's going on yet.
Either:
1) we changed something and default number of mbufclusters
isn't enough;
2) we have an mbuf leakage.
Either way, both are strange and I have no idea what could have
changed..

If it turns out that the best way to fix this problem is to increase,
NMBCLUSTERS, I'll change the message myself.
Thanks.
