I think you may have both stumbled onto the cause of the
problem. :)

/dev/ad3s1e  /tmp    ufs   rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,nosymfollow

I didn't realise that non-exec /tmp was a no-no. I'll try
a rebuild tonight, the system seems stable enough for now,
I don't think anything was touched apart from the kernel.

Thanks for your help, and I'll see you in eight hours
when everything comes to a shuddering halt...  :)
