Hi Rob!
swapoff all other swap than md0,
 which is on the same disk as busy filesystems. Then I run for example:
nice +19 portupgrade -frbWp libtool

Did you see the debug-output I posted?
Did those tell you anything? I do not understand those things.
But I do have the debugscreen open after a crash if you want me too run
anything.

Just glad if I can be of help.
