bin/143972: mptutil(8) segfault

[Charles Owens]

I've posted about this previously on -hardware... maybe this is the more
appropriate list?  I'd appreciate any and all input.

Please see below and PR at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=143972

As noted in PR, this is with a controller based on the LSI 1068E processor.

Thank much
