9.2/amd64 silent reboot when I run sa-update or spamd

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

I have a FreeBSD 9.2/amd64 server running DirectAdmin and ZFS, on KVM
virtualization.

SpamAssassin makes this machine reboot silently: no panic message, no
core dumps, no console messages, no nothing. I'm at my wits end with
this thing. After several hours of debugging, I'm giving up and
pleading for help.

The only useful thing I've seen is from sa-update. When I run
"sa-update -D" (debugging mode), the machine consistently reboots
here.

I've always understood that a userland program should not be able to
panic/crash/reboot the system. And yet, it's happening. Silently.

Any suggestions, folks?

Thanks,
==ml
