Fatal signal 11 syndrome is almost always a HARDWARE PROBLEM -
usually a memory error. Check your memory settings - set them to slower
settings, then disable the level 2 cache if you have to.
If you get fatal signal 11 problems under Linux - rest assured
that FreeBSD or any other 32-bit system will most likely have problems...
