Subject:   Fatal trap 12 when running mergemaster.

I did a cvsup this morning built and installed world and kernel.
While running mergemaster I got:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

And always at the same file

./share/doc/psd/27.nfsrfc missing (created)

I swapped the memory, drive cables, processor etc, but always got the
same result.
After about 10 different runs, and always getting the same result,
I started to suspect something software based. Looking in /var,
I realised that /var/tmp was symlinked to /usr/tmp. 
Creating a /var/tmp directory fixed the problem completely, and I 
finished mergemaster.
 
Just for the hell of it, I deleted the dir, and symlinked it again, and
got exactly the same fault, in exactly the same place.

Any ideas why? Should I open a PR, or does this sound like a bust
install?

Cheers!
