With current STABLE10 I am unable to replicate a ZFS pool using zfs
send/recv without zfs hanging in state "kmem arena", within the first
4TB or so (of a 23TB Pool).

The most recent attempt used this command line

SUPERTEX:/root# zfs send -R BIGTEX/UNIX at syssnap | ssh BLACKIE zfs recv
-duvF BIGTOX

though local replications fail in kmem arena too.

The two machines I've been attempting this on have 16BG and 32GB of RAM
each and are otherwise idle.

Any suggestions on how to get around, or investigate, "kmem arena"?
