Warren, I posted an addendum to that PR to indicate that the behavior
is also occurring on "8.3" systems as well. Do you think it would be
prudent to open a new PR with my info since it concerns FreeBSD-8.3
STABLE and not the "9.0" branch? I was also wondering if anyone other
than myself is seeing this phenomenon on the "8.3" version.
