 You are creating a binary for some other OS ABI then, in your case
 probably SVR4 - and that is executed with the coresponding emulation, which
 seems to not properly handle error checking.
 
 Can you get a backtrace from the kernel crash? If you have DDB enabled
 (check sysctl ddb.onpanic) you can do "tr" at the db> prompt. This should
 directly point to the real problem.
