Mike,

I have never set SafeSignals to yes in any attempt to install any version
on a FreeBSD (They have all been commented out, so the default is null (NO))

PS I guess my definition of "busy" is relative to my experience, however at
8,000 PV/day it was enough to crash the newer (MV3.12/3.13) within minutes
where the 3.11 works just fine.

Hope this helps.

Kyle
