An old dual-pentium 100 machine began crashing after I upgraded it to 4.0-STABLE from 3.4-STABLE. I'd just discount it as a hardware problem revealed by some of the new features of the OS, but the last two crashes happened at the time exactly two weeks apart: May 11 00:46:34 murlo /murlo: Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

There is nothing in the logs immediately before the reboots... Meanwhile, I'll see what happens in the next two weeks.
