There is a FAQ entry on this, but the short answer is:
If you try to make world multiple times, and it segfaults at a different
part of the process each time, it's probably faulty hardware.

See the FreeBSD FAQ for more information.  Also, download and run something
along the lines of memtest86 to see if your RAM is reliable.
