I got this some years ago when I played with FreeBSD 6.1. It has something to 
do with reading/parsing the loader.conf file. Inserting some dummy lines 
(comments etc.) into loader.conf solves it (at least that's a workaround). As 
I've never seen it again since 6.1 I thought it has already been fixed :-(.
