 I've seen this before, but not for 4GB disks.  More like 40GB.  I had
 to raise the kernel data size limit (MAXDSIZ).

  *  If you look in /etc/rc, you will see that swap -a runs before the fsck.
  *  I do use ccdconfig and have /etc/ccd.conf file.  These may be related.
 
 You are most likely running out of swap space, although it's hard to
 believe with 64MB of RAM.  How much swap do you have?
