I have vm.kmem_size="1073741824"
I used to have vm.kmem_size_max=1073741824 as well but heard it was not
needed to have both. (it made no change)
I never see my vfs.numvnodes over 60,000 but i have the limit at 400,000
anyways

All this server does is run nfsd, no apache, no mysql, no rsync, no zfs
snapshots either.

In fact i was going to paste the zpool status here, but typing it in
caused the server to crash. In short i have 4 drives paired in 2
mirrors, for a raid 0 + 1 effect, normal SATA drives directly connected
to zfs.
I have tested this hardware thoroughly without zfs, memory test, make
buildworld tests, etc so i know it is stable hardware.
I hate to report bad news but i hope this leads to a fix
