Thanks for the tip. Thinking that it may be the memory, I installed memtest from the ports collection and as root ran memtest all -l which immediately seg faulted. I've got 384 Megs of RAM, so I ran memtest 384M -l which worked perfectly and didn't dtetct any errors. What's the difference between these two commands, and why would one seg fault and not the other?
