I only connect to the BSD system via ssh at the moment, there is no
keyboard attached.
The ssh shell running "top" doesn't update anymore and doesn't take any
input.
A new ssh session is not possible.
Pressing the power button once does not shut down the machine,
i have to keep it pressed for several seconds to power down hard.

I will try out disabling "sendfile" and, if i can manage, also try out
the patch.
This would be my first kernel patch and compilation, so it might take a
while
to learn. :)

Would i run the risk of loosing the patch when running "freebsd-update"?
Will the patch be provided by "freebsd-update" at some point?

Thank you all for your advice,
Henner Heck
