Unkillable process

Hello,

today one of my bashs started to allocate more and more memory. I tried 
to kill the process but I didn't succeed. The final result was a system 
panic and a lot of error messages like this one:

Feb 18 13:39:43 warpgondel2 kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(12): failed
Feb 18 13:39:43 warpgondel2 kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(9): failed
Feb 18 13:39:43 warpgondel2 kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(5): failed

I use FreeBSD 5 now for more then 8 months. During this time I have seen 
five or more unkillable processes.

Regards,

Oliver Fischer
