I see the problem now:

   PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
49938 root      -2   0   180M   112M getblk 0   0:02 17.57%  9.28% perl
49826 root      -2   0   515M   262M getblk 0   0:04  9.73%  8.54% perl

49993 root      28   0   360M   181M pfault 0   0:01  9.32%  3.08% perl
50000 root      28   0 22572K 14708K pfault 0   0:00 19.48%  1.86% perl

The perl processes are taking massive amounts of RAM on 4.50.15.  I'll 
try turning off the SA caching and see if that makes any difference.

FWIW:

Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 2) configuration:
   Platform:
     osname=freebsd, osvers=4.9-release, archname=i386-freebsd
