Federico,

Your diagnosis is correct, that freeze can be the result of reaching the
limit for UVM amap allocations. These get used by the kernel to describe
anonymous memory mappings, and mmap malloc() puts the UVM subsystem
under a higher load of those, eventually reaching the limit. Until an
appropriate solution is found, you can try bumping the number of pages
in the kernel's memory map (NKMEMPAGES).

-p.
