You are not alone. We have the same here on our SMP machine. I thought it was the SMP that was at fault, but now with your report, maybe it is that after all. I can do lots of "make buildworld"s and "make world"s with no problems, but "make release" kill it everytime. For now we are back to an async mount on the release partition. The machine does not have devfs, so it isn't that either.
