For those who missed it, this is a problem in the Linux emulation. See
the announcement from the the FreeBSD Security Officer. for details,
but the recent security patch triggered the problem by adding  check
for the _UN data structure which is 4 bytes longer in Linux than on
FreeBSD. The emulation layer has been passing the structure unmodified
to the kernel and it is now being rejected.The message states that
Colin is working on a patch to the emulation code which should be
available shortly.
