Well, my 6.3-STABLE locked very often (sometimes every hour). Yesterday I've upgraded it to 6.4-STABLE, applied 1.177.2.1 of the file to sources, rebuilt NanoBSD image and ran it. It has not locked yet. Btw, root filesystem here is UFS2 without softupdates mounted read-only but /etc and /var are md(4) (devfs is mounted too).
