Not installed yet, problem arises -during- install 
>Description:
      When trying to install either at the console or via redirected serial console, FreeBSD-6.0/AMD64 is crashing during the 'base' part of the install when using ftp on local subnet.

Fatal Error: Invalid realloc size of 0! - PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOTes/sec.


It is always around the 76% when this happens. I have tried to install on 15 Servers this week and in almost all cases this happens exactly as shown above.        
>How-To-Repeat:
              Install FreeBSD-6.0/AMD64 using 'ftp' as the media.
>Fix:
              I have made Scott Long aware of this and was asked to submit this bug report.

Closing this PR: 
- it's old, for FreeBSD 6.0 
- no followups 
- the error looks to be in sysinstall userland code
