No doubt - I'm running 7.0-current:
[82]arm9# uname -a
FreeBSD arm9.cicely.de 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #12: Thu Dec  6 02:39:25 CET 2007     ticso@arm9.cicely.de:/data/builder/arm-p4-running-2/src/sys/arm/compile/FBOX  arm
[83]arm9# uptime
10:02PM  up 690 days, 19:43, 1 user, load averages: 0.29, 0.22, 0.15

Including named, although not on exactly this machine.
This one is even compiled O2 - with a few hand selected exceptions.

Compiling perl fails with sig11 as well, but I hadn't verified this
problem any further.

I'm running on RM9200, so it is a UP system.
Of course this won't rule out all possible atomic cases.
