The second time you attempted to buildworld, did it reboot in exactly 
the same place? It is very common for buildworld to show up general 
system stability problems since it stresses systems to an extent that 
they often don't see in normal use. This would be characterised by 
random reboots and signal 11 errors. Possible problems include 
overheating of components, faulty memory and a million other things. ;-)

Questions about building code from the stable branch are usually best 
sent to stable@freebsd.org - since that is where most stable users hang out.

Good luck.

Andrew.
