Yeah, I observed this too a few times. All the times on a poor little 
pentium 1/150 with 48meg ram (according dmesg). It's somewhat difficult 
too check but I suspect I run out of memory every time.

I happened to run make installworld with a DESTDIR pointing to this box 
using nfs using a more recent athlon 3000 :-)

That slow box runs postfix and procmail to a nfs-mounted spool. It runs 
great without any sign indicating bad memory; did not run a memcheck 
though. Increasing swap didn't solve this matter.

Hth.

Cheers,
Robert

PS: recommend to check out releng_6_2 if able; just to be sure.
