To be safe, I nuked the /usr/src/usr.bin/make tree and re-cvsup'ed so
I'd checkout new-car-smell-fresh copies. I killed the /usr/obj tree to
ensure a clean start there and started a buildworld. Six hours later,

  ===> usr.sbin/ntp/ntpd
  Killed

And the dmesg,

  swap_pager: out of swap space
  swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
  pid 82558 (make), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
  pid 80182 (make), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
  pid 28915 (make), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
  pid 14928 (make), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
  pid 14920 (make), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
  pid 83174 (make), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space

A note to the first respondant, David Malone, whose attribution seems
to hav ebeen lost. As you can see it is all make(1). No other
processes are killed off. I've run make with the '-dl' too and make
has not spawned anything off just prior to the fatal moment. I've
frozen things at after the '==> usr.sbin/ntp/ntpd' but before the
kernel starts reaping processes and it is a big, fat make process
eating memory.

Any more ideas what to try here?
