Subject:   natd crashing server?

I seem to be having a problem with a server crashing constantly.  I had a
server running 3.5-STABLE for a while with natd as a firewall/router and
it worked just fine.

But recently I moved all that functionality to a server which was newer
hardware and was also running FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE installed right off the
CD.  Since I have started using that system it has been crashing and
rebooting gives no indication as to why in /var/log/messages.  I would
assume I would see a kernel panic, but I see nothing.

So I have a monitor on it now and it just crashed for the second time
today.  I forget what it said exactly, but it mentioned something about a
page error and natd was mentioned below.  This does not make any sense to
me.

I have the synced to RELENG_4 and I have a buildworld ready to install,
but I am unsure if that will be the end to it.

What can I do to solve this for good?  Where can I get more information on
my server for this error?  Is there a log file I should look in besides
/var/log/messages?  Is there a known bug for this kind thing?

My hardware...

A SCSI system disk, 2 IDE drives for storage, lots of memory, 2 3Com cards
and a Pentium 550 (celeron).  The load is typically very load on this
machine.  (0.04 or so)  It acts as a fileserver, but the system disk is
not shared, only the extra IDE drives so competition for the swapspace
should not be an issue.

Any help is appreciated,

Do you ever find it is easier to explain an idea if you put it into
Star Trek terms?
