FreeBSD 5 stable was no problem, FreeBSD 6 is quite a mess with no trace at all on what might have caused the machine to freeze. I agree with you that it could very well be a user application problem because my kernel config is quite trivial, my updating routines (cvsup and portupgrade) are trivial and actually the whole configuration of my box isn't exciting. I've opened a thread at bsdforums.org and posted an email on this mailing list as well. http://www.freebsdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38765. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-October/ 030225.html Perhaps, comparing both configurations could identify the bad application.
