SIG 11 could just be a poorly written program... Take for example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        long inval;

        inval=atol(argv[1]);
        printf("%s",ctime(&inval));


}

If you run this program and do not give it an argument, it will do a sig 11
coredump.  However, since the FreeBSD distribution is not poorly written,
and you start seeing SIG 11's on basic daemons and processes, I would start
looking at the hardware perhaps...
