It's the first thing I thought, and I cranked it to a very high value  
just in case:

vm.kmem_size_max: 1073741824

It didn't help. Any ideas? The ZFS filesystem was mounted but it had  
absolutely no activity at that
point. It was just Apache 2.2 serving files coming from a NFS-mounted  
filesystem.
