Running java will cause your FreeBSD machine to panic and reboot.  It's
a problem in FreeBSD that the latest versions of java have tickled.  The
10.0-rc4 builds contain a fix as do STABLE-10 and STABLE-9.  Not sure if
that's been MFC'd to STABLE-8 yet, and it hasn't been applied to any of
the RELEASE branches yet.

This is the fix to HEAD:
