For example, if you're running an SNMP agent package that polls system state once a second, that could well be the source of the message. What's unfortunate is that whatever program it is is not reporting which program it is that is generating the error, and apparently not logging it via syslog (I assume you checked the system logs to make sure it's not also being sent there -- if not, you might want to). That is definitely a bug, and should be fixed once we find out the culprit. Well, after : deleting /usr/obj cd /usr/ports make clean make cleanworld cvsup base system and ports build and install kernel and world and then portupgrade -f all my ports [ouf ! :-)] It works now like a charm and my lovely FreeBSD is again fast and stable. But I don't know what was the problem, and there was no trace of it on any logfile. So its solved ! Thanks both for your support.

The last time you asked this question I answered it, but I didn't see any response. Didn't you like my answer? :-) Ho I'm sorry, I've first posted my question to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of freebsd-stable@freebsd.org, but it seems my message arrived at the same place. Sorry for this double-post. And yes I like your answer. I tried a portugrade -fua but I had problem with pkgdb base consistency after some port upgrades, with pkgdb taking a long time each port to rebuild is database. So my ports are not up-to-date. Lets go for redoing all...
