My small news server repeatedly hangs with innd in "vmpfw", with
sometimes another process (e.g. innfeed) hung in "vmopar". Requires a
fairly aggressive reboot to fix (any attempt to unmount the news spool
filesystem hangs too).

This is with FreeBSD-stable as of about June, with local disks and INN
2.2-stable (with every mmap option I could find turned off). Moving to
FreeBSD-current isn't really an option.
