This sounds like the fault might be related to the deadlock I reported in
http://lists.FreeBSD.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-April/013839.html

In my case, OO.org was definitely involved, and it appears to have
become unkillable before /usr locked up.  Two of the locks were:
- A shared lock on /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program/libpsp645fi.so
- /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program/pagein holding an exclusive
  lock on /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program and wanting an exclusive
  lock on /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program/libpsp645fi.so

I have no idea what "pagein" is supposed to do but I can't see any
good reason for it wanting to lock an OO.org shared library.

I have the crashdump lying around in case anyone can suggest somewhere to
look for the cause.
