I had a simliare problem a while back. My problem was due to a 
non-sync between the world "version" and kernel "version". I was 
running FreeBSD 4.2 (or 4.4 - can't remember?) STABLE and had been 
making world a lot of times without recompiling the kernel. I then 
cvsup'ed the latest source and did a make world and built a new 
kernel. That solved my problems.

Try to upgrade your system and see if it helps.

Good luck!
