Unless something has been corrupted in your original OS
installation, I don't see how reinstalling the OS might fix the
problem. Though, if you are going to reinstall anyway, make sure you
will be installing the latest release (6.1).

In any case, this seems like indeed a FreeBSD kernel bug so you
might want to contact the FreeBSD folks about the issue.
