There have been multiple reports of gkrellm causing SMP systems to freeze - more accurately, gkrellm plugins cause this to happen. Which prompts me to ask if you are running SMP, and if you have any gkrellm plugins running. FWIW, if you define WITHOUT_SENSOR when you install gkrellm, it will not turn on the SUID bit on the binary. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
