I've got a machine running syslogd, DNS, DHCP, flow-capture, and other
assorted UDP-loving programs.  Occasionally, they all stop working.
The machine has been up for a couple of hours now, and I see:

ns1/etc;netstat -s | grep full
Warning: sysctl(net.inet6.ip6.rip6stats): No such file or directory
        122066 dropped due to full socket buffers
ns1/etc;

I've doubled kern.ipc.maxsockbuf a couple of times now, and yet it
still happens.

After some help from questions@, I'm pretty sure that the culprit is
syslogd.

udp4       0      0  *.67                   *.*
udp4   43414      0  *.514                  *.*
udp4       0      0  *.49661                *.*

Are you using a serial console? I had similar problems in the past due to the serial port flow control.
