Thanks for testing and reporting this problem. I could not reproduce the
crash on 8.0-RC1 and 7.2. Unfortunately I do not have a 6.4 desktop. As
Martin already wrote could you please check if the sem kernel module is
loaded. If this solves the problem we have to add a note to pkg-message
identical as firefox35 has.
There are some custom patches for FreeBSD 6 which could be a problem. If
the sem kernel module do not solve the problem I will setup a FreeBSD
6.4 box and try to reproduce the problem.
