    Rum, you aren't running that patch I emailed you last time (which has
    since gone into the tree).  I verified it by disassembling vm_waitproc():

0xc02c81bc <vm_waitproc>:       push   %ebp
0xc02c81bd <vm_waitproc+1>:     mov    %esp,%ebp
0xc02c81bf <vm_waitproc+3>:     push   %ebx
0xc02c81c0 <vm_waitproc+4>:     mov    0x8(%ebp),%ebx
0xc02c81c3 <vm_waitproc+7>:     push   %ebx
0xc02c81c4 <vm_waitproc+8>:     call   0xc0362bec <cpu_proc_wait>
0xc02c81c9 <vm_waitproc+13>:    push   %ebx
0xc02c81ca <vm_waitproc+14>:    call   0xc02c90a0 <vmspace_exitfree>
0xc02c81cf <vm_waitproc+19>:    mov    0xfffffffc(%ebp),%ebx
0xc02c81d2 <vm_waitproc+22>:    leave  
0xc02c81d3 <vm_waitproc+23>:    ret    

    There should be a 'movl   $0x0,0x1c(%ebx)' in there that corresponds
    to the 'p->p_stats = NULL' line that was added to vm_waitproc() in
    vm/vm_glue.c 1.28, and there isn't.

    I recommend upgrading to DragonFly_Stable.  It has that patch plus a 
    number of other bugs fixes.
