This sis0 crash problem on FreeBSD 6.0 does not appear to be an out of memory 
condition but some form of race condition because of bad locking. We are 
seeing mbuf corruption at high cpu loads and resulting panics of the system 
shortly after. The number of clusters had no effect on how easily/often the 
OS crashed.
