I am having problems with two of my FreeBSD machines having Page Faults due to I think Procmail. Both are FreeBSD 2.5, both have been running procmail for about 2 years, neither has had any significant changes recently yet both started page faulting last night beginning I believe around 11:00PM. I tested the procmail theory by sending a small test mail message and teh system crashed immediately yet a small test message to a user not using procmail and it delivers fine. I read an article on kernel debugging on FreeBSD (see below) and have prepared some of the key information. I initially thought it might have been a physical hard drive or swap partition thing, until the second machine had the same problem at a different site using different equipment. I upgraded one machine to procmail-3.14 with the same results. My guess is a kernel bug. Any Ideas or people having the same problem? I know someone with FreeBSD 2.6 using procmail and is not having the problem. Some of my Page Fault details are: Fatal Trap 12: Page Fault while in Kernel Mode Fault Virt Address=0x0 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer is 0x8:0xf01e83b Output of "nm /kernel | grep f01e8" f01e8b24 t _blink_screen f01e80b8 T _copy_font f01e8acc t _do_bell f01e891c t _draw_cutmarking f01e85b4 t _draw_mouse_image f01e8a84 T _load_palette f01e853c t _mouse_cut_end f01e8498 t _mouse_cut_start f01e8554 t _mouse_paste f01e8a1c t _remove_cutmarking f01e886c t _remove_mouse_image f01e8a50 t _save_palette f01e81b8 t _set_destructive_cursor f01e82d8 t _set_mouse_pos f01e8e70 t _wdattach f01e8be8 T _wdc_pci f01e8bf8 t _wdprobe f01e8be0 F wd.o Nothing looks obvious here. I was hoping to see an entry that might tell me something, but instead I feel I am going in the wrong direction.
