Hmm.  Interesting.  You may need to go -hackers for this...

Apparently a socket buffer is claiming to use a negative amount of
space.  Offhand I'd guess that it wrapped around, but there seem to be
checks in place to avoid that.  It's something running as root, which
should help you track it down (most network daemons should be run as
other users anyway).

Glibert,

What is -hackers? freebsd-hackers at freebsd.org?

Thanks for the reply :-)

-Grant
