Yes, console history contains the line

warning: total configured swap (524288 pages) exceeds maximum recommended amount (405460 pages).

Since top reported what looked like ample swap, and buildworld seemed to
run successfully, I didn't heed the

warning: increase kern.maxswzone or reduce amount of swap.

message. 

Would it be helpful to do so now? gpart show da0 reports

=>        0  122544516  da0  BSD  (58G)
          0    4194304    1  freebsd-ufs  (2.0G)
    4194304    4194304    2  freebsd-swap  (2.0G)
    8388608    6291456    4  freebsd-ufs  (3.0G)
   14680064  107864452    5  freebsd-ufs  (51G)
 
The units are somewhat baffling, since the apparent swap partition
size does not match (numerically) the dmesg value.

Thanks for writing!
