It should not be necessary to edit spt.s unless NMBCLUSTERS is being
defined somewhere else than in mbuf.h . After changing mbuf.h, delete
spt.o and re-make. Caveat - I haven't tested this (I don't buy the fix,
either).

Increasing the number of mbufs is probably a band-aid for the
real problem. Mbufs are being allocated and never freed.
