Hi,

Are you using any sort of traffic shaping( dummynet ) with ipfw ? Had a
similar problem and solved it by setting the timer granularity ( options
HZ=1000 ) in the kernel which is strongly recommended. The machine also
gave me no clue as to why it froze. Checking your memory as already
suggested is also a good idea. You can use the memory test located in 
/usr/ports/sysutils/memtest86 which is a great tool. You might also want
to upgrade to the latest source for that particular RELEASE as bugs are
constantly found and corrected.
