I had a 4.0-RELEASE system that started locking up once every few days
after 
I added a second Ethernet card to it.  Didn't reboot, it scribbled all
over 
the display memory and froze until I hit the reset button.

The problem went away when I upgraded to a fairly recent -STABLE.  Since
you 
are using it as a gateway, I assume you have two NICs, so I suspect we
both 
had the same problem.  Try upgrading to -STABLE (or wait a few days and 
install 4.1).
