Well, the easy way to test that would be to restart and not run maradns on the machine, and check back after a while. At which point, if that is the troublemaker, you'd have to start poking into to see what it's doing to eat up kernel resources like that. And, yes, you are correct to assume that once an mbuf is leaked, it's too late.
