No, nothing apart from probably not spotting that the problem was
already well understood and there had been workarounds suggested at
the end of the above thread.


That said, expect the problem to be fixed within 24 hours.  You will
only have to rebuild your jail(8) command line tool, once you spot the
commit by:

1) update your source and make sure to have the new version of jail.c
2) cd src/usr.sbin/jail
3) make obj && make depend && make all
4) sudo make install
5) try again.

In case you still see problems afterwards, cry again, loud and in
here - in case that will fix the problem a short note will be
welcome as well;-)
