I didn't see the correlation, but it "appears" as though when I delete the dnsCache.db file I run fine for much longer. Before I captured this I was crashing every day or two. I renamed the dnsCache.db to *.bad and restarted in gdb, so we'll see what happens!
When looking at sessions.c I found a note to a contributed patch and emailed this person, but it bounced back undeliverable. I downloaded the 3.3.8 package from FreeBSD.org and and trying to get svn working so I can get the latest source as well. Thanks!
