Hi.
Is it normal after 16 days of uptime:

I mean 128 Bucket (FAIL) and mbuf_cluster (FAIL SLEEP)

Yes, this is normal and it doesn't mean what you might expect.  It's a 
generic failure counter, not an allocation failure counter.  eg: if an 
object that was just freed fails to fit in a per-cpu free items cache it 
counts as a "FAIL".
