This problem has been cropping up with "current" for about the
last month. The basic problem shows up with daemon processes 
coreing sortly after swap space is maxed out.

The most common programs: cron, sendmail and recently socks5.
The main process keep running but every time it goes to 
fork a copy, the copy dies. 

I am running -current (as of Apr 14), built from scratch.

Apr 19 12:03:43 lupo /kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space: 124 MB
Apr 19 12:10:03 lupo /kernel: pid 15046 (cron), uid 0: exited on signal 11

Apr 19 12:14:27 lupo /kernel: pid 15057 (socks5), uid 0: exited on signal 11
Apr 19 12:14:50 lupo /kernel: pid 15059 (socks5), uid 0: exited on signal 11


I wasn't sure if I had bad bits at some point but I have two systems
exhibiting the same behavior.
