My FreeBSD machine is acting a little bit strange:

I also received this mail from the cron deamon:

Did I run into some resource limit? If so, what do I need to change in the
kernel? 

Or is it some other problem? If you need more information to answer this
question, please ask. I would be glad to provide you with more details.
