I probably also should have asked if you are
using 32-bit FreeBSD or 64-bit. (G5's can use
either when things are working.)
-r320623 is from head (not from releng/11.0/ ):
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/?view=log s shows:
Revision 320623 - Directory Listing
Modified Mon Jul 3 23:27:57 2017 UTC (23 hours, 2 minutes ago) by jasone
Update jemalloc to 5.0.1.
If this is real then you have jumped to a binary incompatible
kernel relative to your world. (That may not be the only
problem and you might not have even got that far.)
As of when I looked head was up to -r320659 .
I list the below in case the 320623 is a typo or some such. . .
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.0/?view=log shows:
-r317487 from 2017-Apr-27
-r316722 from 2017-Apr-12
-r314125 from 2017-Feb-23
(I'll stop there.)
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.1/?view=log shows:
-r320654 from 2017-Jul-4
-r320639 from 2017-Jul-4
-r320608 from 2017-Jul-3
(I'll stop there.)
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/?view=log shows:
-r320645 from 2017-Jul-4
-r320641 from 2017-Jul-4
-r320638 from 2017-Jul-4
-r320621 from 2017-Jul-3
(I'll stop there.)
Can you report for sure what you actually got?
