  I have one idea about this. You've said that machine acts as a dialup server.
What kind of ppp do you use: kernel (devices ppp + process pppd) or user 
(devices tun + process ppp)? It seems to me that kernel ppp is seriously
broken in RELENG_6, but I've never succeeded in getting a crashdump (my 
otherwise stable home machine just reboots from time to time when I use
kernel ppp), so for now I've just switched to user ppp.
