How much memory do you have on the server? You may want to adjust  
vm.kmem_size_max.

I have it set to 419430400 (400MB) on my 2 and 4G RAM servers.

I have recently upgraded 5 NFS servers from 5.3-STABLE to 5.4-RELEASE- 
p2, and have had no ill effects so far.

I had frequent crashes on 5.2.x before setting kmem_size_max (it was  
a compile time option back then), so I have kept it that way since.
