Just about every day, my FreeBSD system hangs.  I set up
dumpdev/dumpdir, but I never get anything in /var/crashes.  I'm not
sure what to do to debug the problem.  It usually happens during a
'gmake -j4...', but has happened at other times as well.  Someone on
freebsd-questions suggested that the CPU(s) might be overheating.
Today I monitored the temperature all day long and it just crashed
during a compile with no change in temperature.

What can I do to get more information about what is causing the hang?

I have the following in rc.conf to try to get a kernel crash dump:

dumpdev="/dev/ad0s1b"
dumpdir="/var/crash"

And I'm running a kernel with debug symbols.  I'm running FreeBSD
5.2.1-RELEASE-p5 with 2 athlon mp processors, using the GENERIC kernel
config file (except I commented out INET6 so that firefox will resolve
domains in a timely fashion):
