A wild guess: File system damage side effect that is being triggered by something "non-obvious". To make sure this is _not_ the case, reboot into SUM or via live media and perform a forced (!) file system check. Note that just in case you might think "but I run background fsck and preen, that should be sufficient" - it's not; there are few things that only a full, _normal_ file system check can detect and repair. I'm mentioning this because similar situations have been discussed on this list, and finally there was some strange file system defect responsible... But also make sure system power is good, and the system does not become unstable when on load. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
