Don't know if this is related, but my box frose several times. It
happened when I tried to stress it with 'make buildworld' with
sufficiently large '-j#'. Well, it didn't freese in fact, just
stopped like if it had been blocked in some interrupt handler.
Consoles switched OK, Ctl+T showed status of running processes
OK, Ctl+D in shell caused exit (without any further activity),
Ctl+Alt+Esc dropped to DDB ok, etc. Manual panic in DDB caused
page fault.

As a random guess I disabled loading of screen saver module from
/boot/boot.conf, and it seemes to cure the problem. If anybody
interested, I can send a dump from DDB panic.
