Well, that's a good question. The particular version I am running right now is basically FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT (well, from a free weeks ago anyway) with lots of local kernel mods (to support drive pull primarily). I guess we could very well be hitting a bug in this 9.0 code since it hasn't officially been stamped as released...
