>How-To-Repeat:
I been having this problem ever since I've started using FreeBSD5 with smp to 6,7, .. the only time i was able to recreate it was while running a connection over IPv6 on sshd authenticated with certificates, then flood the screen or buildworld or something, so a lot of data comes over the terminal screen, though this time it just randomly occurred, as it often does, i just did a fresh install few days ago, because the previous system had this problem every 30mins, it started out with once a month, once every 10 days, .. up until the point i booted up and just crashed instantly, currently i see the process seems to be irssi, usually when I see it on the screen it's sshd.

I use IPv6 through stf interface (6to4), in case it matters.
