    This happened to me on 4.8 recently too. What it ended up being was the
    "sendmail-client" startup thing. I'd replaced sendmail w/ postfix, but for
    some reason, this sendmail-client thing still tried to run, and since I
    wasn't running sendmail, it just sat there forever. If I ctrl-c'd on the
    console, it would proceed to run all the startup scripts.

    I haven't used sendmail in years, but I think this was meant to clear the
    queue out.

    I'm not sure if there is a rc.conf entry to stop it (didn't look close
    enough, but "sendmail_enable=NO" didn't do it). I just commented the
    sendmail-client stuff out.

    Its been a while so I don't remember exactly where this stuff was, but you
    can probably find it.

    Once I did that, everything ran again.

    Cheers,
    Brent
