This is a lengthy issue:

I have one machine running:

2.5 Ghz AMD
512 MB DDR333 RAM
40 Gig ATA133 drive and controller

Running FreeBSD 4.7 (also tried 4.8)

Courier version 0.43.0, MySQL 4.0.17, Apache w/ModSSL 1.3.27 +PHP4 and IMP Mail 
client, SSH, inetd, cron, etc.

750+ user accounts are setup on the machine as MySQL accounts, not real user 
accounts.

About once a day the machine crashes with the following in the message log:

/kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
/kernel: fault virtual address   = 0x46
/kernel: fault code      = supervisor read, page not present
/kernel: instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc0200960
/kernel: stack pointer           = 0x10:0xd6a43c28
/kernel: frame pointer           = 0x10:0xd6a43c18
/kernel: code segment        = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
/kernel: = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
/kernel: processor eflags    = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
/kernel: current process     = 63563 (courieresmtp)
/kernel: interrupt mask      = none
/kernel: trap number     = 12
/kernel: panic: page fault

The machine is fairly busy (MySQL reports around 12 queries per second).  Most 
of the time it doesn't hit swap.  I've considered bad hardware, which is why I 
recently upgraded "from" a 1.3 AMD Duron and 512 MB of PC133 and a 30 gig HD.  
The problem is the EXACT same, and the chances of bad RAM from two purchases?  
Probably very unlikely, but possible.

So after all hardware is upgraded, I assumed I wouldn't see the same crash, but 
I am.  I've only ever seen it crash due to some issue with couriersmtp.  I did 
recompile Courier when I upgraded hardware.  I started using FreeBSD 4.8 and 
then went back to 4.7.  The reason for this is I have another machine running 
that's "almost" as busy, but hasn't rebooted in over 100 days.  Its running 
similar hardware and FreeBSD 4.7 as the OS.

The server does run two other programs that I've built.  I have shut those apps 
down for a while and still had the issue, so I highly doubt its due to those 
apps.

Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,

D
