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.
