Try this patch, it solved some problems we have observed in China community.

For -CURRENT:
http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/for_review/patch-bce-watchdog-rewrite-HEAD.20070109

For -STABLE:
http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/misc/patch-bce-watchdog-rewrite

Note that the -STABLE version is an old, but tested one.  The -CURRENT
version is optimized, but I have not stress tested yet.  Both should
apply to the different branch cleanly, though.

I would appreciate if you would test the -HEAD patch, even with RELENG_6
and report if it solves your problem.  But if the server is important to
you then just use the latter.

Cheers,
