Hello, this is just to report back that disabling hyper-threading in the
BIOS made the problem go away completely. I'm sorry I didn't generate a
core dump but because I installed four swap partitions each with half
the size of the RAM and the handbook says I needed one swap partition
with at least the same size, and I don't have the time to fiddle with
partitions now.
Thanks for the help,
Cristóvão

I've disabled SMP with the kern.smp.disabled=1 sysctl and I'll see
what happens next. Strangely though the kernel seems to think the
system has only one cpu despite it being hyperthreaded:
You want to turn HT off in the BIOS. The scheduler will not make use
of it, and in fact will most likely hurt performance.
