[sysctl -a causes a crash dump]
I saw this yesterday also.  It turned out that I had an old kqemu.ko
loaded.  Removing it eliminated the crash.

If you're using modules, especially from ports, then make sure they're
up-to-date with your kernel sources.

I got the idea for this from a mail which Robert Watson posted.
