Thanks for the suggestion.  I should have mentioned I’ve been initializing 
these two interfaces since 11-stable with:

ifconfig_vmx0="up mtu 9000 -tso -lro -vlanhwtso -rxcsum -txcsum -rxcsum6 
-txcsum6 -tso4 -tso6 -vlanhwcsum”
ifconfig_vmx1="DHCP -tso -lro -vlanhwtso -rxcsum -txcsum -rxcsum6 -txcsum6 
-tso4 -tso6 -vlanhwcsum”

And I’m running:

FreeBSD namale.marcuscom.com 12.1-STABLE FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE NAMALE  amd64 
1201520 1201520

I most recently built this yesterday, but the previous kernel that exhibited 
the problem was built about a week ago.  It had the fragment fixes for iflib.c.
