Matt, more on this one....

Our server crashed again today.  Even after backing off from -stable to
4.5-P5.  Sysloging to another server did not work, the box must be just
that brain dead, however, it was the same exact error on the console and
oddly enough, around the same exact time of day.  The box has only been
up 1 week, 1 day.

Both times the box has crashed crashed at ~3:02am.  I'm thinking that
something in periodic daily is causing the crashes.

Keep in mind, that this server serves several NFS clients which mount
things such as FreeBSD ports and /usr/src.  Those are soft linked to on
the clients to the NFS mount locations.  All of our clients are
FreeBSD-4.5, all synced via NTP broadcast.  Could it be that all of the
servers are all thrashing the NFS box for some reason when periodic
runs?  ...  Scratch that, I just checked and all the other servers daily
runs seemed to have run fine, I got all of their daily output.  Seems to
run fine for a week, and I've never really watched the box at 3:01am
when periodic daily runs.

I've changed periodic around on the NFS server (before the crash) and
got rid of quite a few things.

And the box still crashed.  Still interesting that it crashed.
