I have been running a network monitoring program on my server, that 
tracks cpu load, free memory.  None of these have moved out of spec.

Load average on the machine hit a high of 0.012.

Since this problem effects a number of different FreeBSD boxes, is there 
something that could be related to the kernel, scheduling, locking etc.  
I'm guessing here so could be totally wrong.  Are the debugs collected 
by Daniel meaningful to a FreeBSD developer or are they totally 
FreeRADIUS specific (yes I'm out of my league here)?

Daniel, one of your emails suggests that you have two servers.  One that 
seems OK and the other that gives the Signal 11 problem.  Do they both 
run the same version of FreeBSD?  Are there differences in the 
scheduling or SMP options in the kernel?  What other differences are 
there between these two machines?
