I do not know much 'bout FBSD kernel, but AFAIK page fault trap is generated,
if the opreating system could not swap in a page which is required
by the processor.

If you say, after a recompile of the kernel all went ok, it could be

an output of the original and new dmesg-output (if different) to
mailto:stable@freebsd.org
