3.0 != 3.1 on FreeBSD.

You need Mr Strauss's patch (IMHO) to go to 3.1 on FreeBSD 4.x 
(4.10-RELEASE for me).

With the patch, peace and tranquillity; without: any or all of, no 
response to web requests, high CPU utilisation (>= 40% for 2 x DS0 !), 
_and_ instability.

Your choices for FreeBSD are 3.0 or 3.1 + BMS540 (?).

BTW, as Mr Strauss points out this is not a slag FreeBSD issue. Ntop and 
Nagios 2.0 (and perhaps MySql) struggle with the pthread lib. (Nag 2.0 
suggests there is better performance from Linux thread support [ports]. 
When I tried this with a 2.2.9x Ntop the results were not good; don't 
know for 2.x)

Yours sincerely.
