didn't I see something a few weeks (months?) ago on this list regarding about
the same thing--and the cause was a recursive include of /etc/rc.conf ?

Somebody had copied /etc/defaults/rc.conf as /etc/rc.conf and forgot to take
out the code at the bottom that does:

for i in ${rc_conf_files}; do
        if [ -f $i ]; then
                . $i
        fi
done

(i.e. one would recursively include one's rc files until the machine freaked).

Could this be the problem?
