    I have a FreeBSD 4.8-Release machine that I upgraded from a 4.5 or 4.4
    machine. It works just great for about 9 days, then processes will not
    die. It starts to become a problem when I can't kill processes, restart
    services, connections hang, and I can't reboot or shutdown, I have to do
    a hard reset.

    I can't really find anything in the logs to indicate what is giving me
    problems. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Bill
