Exactly the same thing.

I'm using 5.3 STABLE, both 1.0.3 cvsupped and /usr/ports/net/asterisk do
lockup the server every time I use meetme or issue a stop now or reload
commands at cli interface. having HZ=1000 or using kernel.GENERIC
doesn't make any difference. Unloading the /usr/ports/net/zaptel modules
  fixes the problem so I think that's the cause of the problem.

For now I've disabled zaptel (I'm using Digium X100P pci card).

I'm on 5.3-STABLE / Asterisk 1.0.3 (new from ports) using GENERIC kernel with 
Zaptel 0.8_1 and TDM11B.  MeetMe seems to work ok, but she just stops 
responding if I issue "STOP NOW" from Asterisk CLI.  I have to issue 
"shutdown now" from a separate terminal session to get asterisk to unload.

If anyone is interested, I've patched spandsp for use on FreeBSD and I'm happy 
to report that app_rxfax.so actually works.  I have not yet gotten asterisk 
to automagically recognize the fax tone (I'm dialing a FAX extension for now) 
but I think this is a dialplan problem.

Haven't tested app_txfax yet.
