It looks like the memory manager that LAM is using is not playing well
with BSD (in fairness, I don't think we ever tested it on BSD [other
than OSX, which is a slightly different ballgame]). Check out the
release notes about this in the LAM/MPI Installation Guide (in your
tarball and http://www.lam-mpi.org/using/docs/).

If you're not using Myrinet or Infiniband, you don't need this memory
manager anyway, so you can configure LAM with:

        --with-memory-manager=none

Let me know if this solves your problems.
