Default pagedaemon 100% cpu usage

Hi all,

I am having a bit of trouble with apache and php 5 (Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8e DAV/2 SVN/1.4.6 PHP/5.2.6). I have SVN running over apache and I can commit and update changes without any issue. I have mercurial setup over apache and can sync with remote repositories no problem.

I can run
Code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
in a php file and get the configuration back without any problems...


I am pretty sure I have enough free space...
Code:
#df -i
Filesystem  512-blocks      Used     Avail Capacity  iused    ifree  %iused  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a     78544440   6075320  68541900     8%   188037  4696441     3%   /
kernfs               2         2         0   100%      896      128    87%   /kern
If I try to launch dokuwiki, the server locks up. I tried running top to see what was going on and it looks like pagedaemon is hogging the cpu. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Once this process starts to hog the cpu I can't seem to shut it down it locks out my ssh session and I am forced to hard reboot the server.
