Does the entire operating system crash? If so, have you reported this to FreeBSD? Could you post the link to that bug report?

I am having the same problem on a FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE box.

Replying to Olaf van der Spek:

- No I have not made a bug report.

The system becomes unresponsive (http|ssh(new and current sessions)) I can however still ping the machine. I am sitting remotely and can only cut the power to make it reboot. The freeze will happen even if uploads is disabled in php. Though I have not been able to reproduce the problem when posting a fileupload to a static html file.

I have made struss and strace outputs. but to me they are just nonsens :) I will try to attach the strace file as it seems to have a peculiar ending.
