I'll chime in here (again!) and mention that I was having the same 
problem yesterday trying to make buildworld (5.3 Release).

It turned out that one of my RAM modules was bad and the bios must not 
have fully mapped out all of the bad parts. After removing the offending 
memory module (through trial and error), freebsd is as stable as ever 
and my builds went flawlessly.

So Godwin is probably right. It is probably bad RAM.
