Just an update on status.  I did three things:

Disabled ASLR in /boot/loader.conf

kern.elf64.aslr.enable=0
kern.elf32.aslr.enable=0

I did this b/c I read that in 13.2 it was automatically enabled.

I also set a flag to control the growth of the ARC

vfs.zfs.arc_max="4294967296"

finally, since I have multiple jails, I wondered if something had 
changed that would make old userspace binaries a problem.  So I upgraded 
all jails with ezjail.

The net result is that the host is up since about the 20th of the month.

Thank everyone who took the time to respond to my ask for help.

<br>S5 should cause a press on the power button to gracefully shut down
