Yes, but when several users with different systems in different parts of the world report the same message in the same spot, I rather suspect a configuration or tool issue. For example, tripling the RAM didn't change it. I may well have a bad set of configuration options for these newer releases. I am very new to FreeBSD. I followed the Handbook configuration instructions to reflect my hardware and didn't knowingly set compiler options at all. Your note was the first to remark on compiler options in connection with this error message so it certainly warrants my attention. I build RELENG_4_5 seamlessly with the same configuration file (in a RELENG_4_5 installation, however), so an environmental or generational issue is likely here. I _have_ also hit heating problems and swap overruns, but these showed different 'footprints'. The partition size issue is my real stimulus to reconfigure the setup before I am more invested and dependent on it: "A house built on sand ..." etc. Thanks for your comments. I need to dig out my error messages and compare the compilation options with the other poster's.
