FWIW, I have noticed on 3.0 -current:

[8 ishtar: /home/davidh] % uname -a
FreeBSD ishtar 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #1: Wed Aug  5 08:53:19 EST 1998     davidh@ishtar:/usr/src/sys/compile/ISHTAR  i386

with a kern.maxproc of 180

that if I leave Netscape 4.5 up for any length of time I get a situation 
where all new (non cache?) processes segmentation fault. (ie. su, csh etc)

If I don't run Netscape I get uptime of more than a few days.

This is under X, but I can't seem to get Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get back to the console
to see if there are any further diagnostics.
