chkrootkit 0.46 reboots FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p8

Hello,

Please, don't use chkrootkit 0.46 on production machines.
The "chkproc" process sends a SIGXFSZ (25) signal to init,
that interprets this signal as a "disaster" and reboots 
after a 30s sleep.

I'm contacting the chkrootkit maintainer to fix this
problem.

Sorry,
Cordeiro
