There is a possibly-related kernel bug in FreeBSD-3.3. It sometimes corrupts kernel fd tables and causes the whole kernel to fail. It is sometimes activated by allocating lots of fd's and forking and exiting in a child process. See PRi 16568. Upgrade to FreeBSD-stable (3.x after 3.4-release) yesterday.
