See the stress test panic called 'Ran out of "128 Bucket"
<http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Epho/stress/log/cons210.html>' on the 6.2
todo list and my own latest test here:
http://www.maniacs.se/~junics/temp/vmstat-z.txt
This test was on a new 6.2-RC2 install with no zone limit tweaks nor any
sbsize limits in /etc/login.conf.
I just made a vm disk image with replication instructions, however Peter
Holm have replicated it with his own tools so i have not bothered with
it until now.

That problem is being worked on but won't be fixed for 6.2-REL.
Depending on how complex the fix winds up being it may be an Errata
candidate when the time comes.
