Some poorly written software fails to run properly in 64-bit  
environment.  I have one such package, and my solution was to compile  
it on a 32-bit box, and copy the binaries over.  Works just fine with  
32-bit compat enabled on the amd64 kernel.

Other than that, the FreeBSD/amd64 has been 100% rock solid for me  
since 6.0 when I started getting 64-bit boxes.
