The driver has used up all of it's internal cache
of npkts, and has asked io-net for another npkt,
and io-net did not return one.

What is the output of "pidin in"? Is all of the
memory in use?

Is this with a trickle of data, or with heavy data
flow? With heavy data flow, io-net should quickly
grow from it's initial size to it's final size, and
should stay pretty much there.
But with a trickle of data, io-net's memory will
slowly grow to it's maximum - assuming there is
no real leak.
