yes, I'm surprised too.

I doubt it's a random or a sporadic issue.
I did a bisection, as suggested, during which
I built world/kernel on 7 revisions, and when I
narrowed it down to <50, a further 4 kernels.
All kernels <=286315 boot, all kernels >= 286316
do not. I think if it were something random,
it wouldn't be such a clear cut picture.
What about my loader.conf:
# cat /boot/loader.conf
zfs_load="YES"
# soft limits
kern.dfldsiz=536748032 # default soft limit for process data
kern.dflssiz=536748032 # default soft limit for stack
# hard limits
kern.maxdsiz=536748032 # hard limit for process data
kern.maxssiz=536748032 # hard limit for stack
kern.maxtsiz=536748032 # hard limit for text size
# processes may not exceed these limits.
#
My memory:
real memory = 8589934592 (8192 MB)
avail memory = 8387649536 (7999 MB)
I'll try disabling all these settings in loader.conf
and see if makes a difference.
But these settings have been there for a few years
with no problems.
Anton
