Check to be sure your Ethernet driver isn't increasing pbuf->ref anywhere.
Some drivers do this so that the packet is freed only after a DMA transfer
is complete and not at the time low_level_output returns.  If it's freed too
soon the packet can be corrupted if its pbuf is used before the DMA
finishes.

I only use pbuf_alloc() and pbuf_free(). I never use pbuf_ref(), or access pbuf->ref.
