Well, no, but I got a question: in freebsd current, what prevents the
kernel from reallocating a process' memory after it calls exit() and
before it is finished freeing its memory up?  I'm reading in the
4.4BSD book p. 155 that they raise the interrupt level, and I
understand that doesn't work for SMP.  So presumably there is some new
mechanism for this in current?  (which might be related to this
crash??)
