IIRC FreeBSD 4-STABLE has fixes incorporated to correct a problem playing DVD's that run over 2+ hours, problem handeling DVD disks over a certain size. The problem would panic your machine. I have a cvsup/buildworld helper doc at: http://www.hiltonbsd.com/articles/buildworld.php That may be of assistance in getting your system updated to 4-STABLE.
