Alexandre,
I saw reports (and observed the problem myself) that all sort of
different softwares suffering from signal 11 under FreeBSD (more often
seen on 5-STABLE). So far the collection is: Apache 1.3 (myself),
Mysql (recent descussion on freebsd-stable list) and now postgresql...
The hardware is not the point of failure here. Try to post this into
freebsd-stable - perhaps additional problem report will help them find
the cause.
p.s. here is the last one I see in my apache error log:
[Wed Mar 9 17:50:45 2005] [notice] child pid 95642 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)
