Hello,

Our FreeBSD 2.0.5 box is crashing about every two days. From the
last dmesg I see:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0xefc
fault code              = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xf019ac4e
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                        = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process         = 187 (nntplink)
interrupt mask          = net tty bio 
panic: page fault

nntplink is compiled with mmap() in it.

Any hints? I need them urgently as the machine is in production use.
