after last crash fsck_ffs found nothing suggesting such a case.

Actually the only change i made to this system (running flawless close to 
two years) is upgrading to latest 8.* from sources less than month ago.

but still - even assuming that system update introduced a bug - i cannot 
understand why it happens at sunday when it is least loaded. Only rarely 
visited WWW that time, few mails, and no load present as in work days.

since last crash i inserted pendrive and set it as dump device (FreeBSD 
doesn't seem to reliably crashdump to gmirrored+geli devices, i don't have 
others available).

but as you see it halted, no crash dump
