 OK, why don't you try something else - the recommended procedure
 for rebuilding the FreeBSD userland and kernel since at least 4.1
 (as documented in /usr/src/UPDATING):
 
   cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
   cp GENERIC HELLOCQ
   # edit the HELLOCQ file
   cd /usr/src
   make buildworld buildkernel KERNCONF=HELLOCQ
   shutdown now  # drop to single-user mode
   make installkernel installworld KERNCONF=HELLOCQ
   mergemaster
   shutdown -r now  # a bit better than just 'reboot'
 
 ..then see if the problem persists.
 
 The drop to single-user mode may be skipped, if there are no important
 servers running on your system - some of them might croak when the system
 libraries are replaced.  If you want to skip that drop to single-user
 mode, then after editing the kernel config file, just do:
 
   cd /usr/src
   make buildworld buildkernel installkernel installworld KERNCONF=HELLOCQ
   mergemaster
   shutdown -r now
 
 Hope this helps.
   
 G'luck,
 Peter
