This program won't even compile for me :-(.

However, fixing the obvious bugs, I was able to run it 20 times in a
row w/o any problems that I could detect.  This was on my -current
system....  That will give you an alternative to running Linux.

Can you enable ddb and/or crash dumps to find out where things are
crashing?  What are the messages that you getting?
