After something like five years of nearly fulltime use, I finally 
crashed FreeBSD . . . I've had the explainable ones before from 
overloading the VM by loading files larger than virtual memory into a 
binary editor, hand fork-bombing on images in netscape, and so forth, 
but this one just caught me off guard.  I suppose that I should report 
ithappening somewhere . . .

I had a buildworld running, I had a pair of scp processes on the new 
machine copying /usr/src and /usr/ports over.  Noticing a huge quantity 
of files being tranfered (presumably a work directory), I rm -rf'd 
/usr/ports/*/*/work

I suppose they collided . . . THe machine froze up, and rebooted after 
a minute or two.
