I've been seeing an interesting problem when doing a make installworld on a
486 with 16MB of memory. Immediately after installing libc.so.3, it will hang.
DDB gives a backtrace to a mmap related call (sorry, the box is at home at the
memoment and this email was prompted by something on freebsd-current). It's
quite reproducible, but worked around by issuing a bunch of syncs every
second. Outside of that, the box runs fine (it's my ppp NAT gateway, runs
squid & nntpcached as well).
