Chris, and others, I apologize, hang is what they do and I shouldn't
have loosely used the word "crash."

What happens is (again, judging from some threads on freebsdforums, to
everyone who tries ) is that if one opens the site, it'll begin to load
and finally freeze, to the point, at least on my machine, where the only
way to stop it is to find the PID and kill it.
