The amount of memory at which you see it depends on the processor
features.  Now that autotuning is in, there's a stair-step for
how much the system uses for each resource pool, based on how
much RAM is in the system.  It's quite unpredictable where it will
show up in -current, because of this (and the new memory allocator).

Basically, the problem will show wherever the memory size vs.
memory utilization tickles it (that's why upping maxfiles was
enough to scare it off, before the tuning/allocator changes
went in).
