(Not a developer, though :)
Once I was using 3.1-R on a PC with some (few) bad blocks on
IDE disks, and some sectors in swap area were also
suspicious.
Result: Sometimes FreeBSD just freezed (under X, mostly).
It never rebooted.
Also an attempt to boot a system faulty disk usually
caused some-kind-of-freeze-during-zillions-of-fsck complaints.
But the OS was not guilty in either case.
