It is possible that you are running out of memory -- the system has very little overcommit capability. It is best to allow for as much swap as total process sizes. This issue is going to be revisited again for FreeBSD V2.0. (The change is there to fix possible system hangs -- great tradeoff huh? :-)). Sorry for the problems -- BTW, certain forms of I/O errors can cause this effect also. The more info you can get me the better. John dyson@implode.root.com
