This question may be berter answered on a Solaris forum. STREAMS is the underlined technology at the driver layer implementing Solaris network stack, such as TCP/IP or even layer 2. I can only guess your problem may be related to network connections on this server. But even under stress, kernel memory should not leak, or it's likely to be a bug in Solaris.
