The following reply was made to PR misc/18201; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Lazaro D.

So the problem is related to something that changed betweeen 3.x and 4.x. I read today some mails sent to freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG pointing to possible problems with with the new ATA driver (see below). May be that the cause of the lock in my PR?

Aha... here's what I found reasonable enough for the cause of lock-ups I've been having... I'm not expert enough to prove my statement, but I have a strong hunch that the ata driver is the prime suspect causing the lock-ups. When I found my machine lock-up, the harddrive LED light on all the time, and the harddrive is in condition of spinning... Never have an uptime of more than 2 days since upgrading to RELENG_4. Sigh... Like what I've describe before in my other message, the same machine that lock-up never had any unintentional reboots when running FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE before...
