 Hi Gene,
 
 I have recieved no further contact from the FreeBSD team about the
 problem, but I believe someone may have fixed it shortly after I submitted
 this PR.  I have a machine running a later 3.3-STABLE, and one with 3.4-RC
 and neither show this problem any more.
 
 I think 3.4 will be out some time in the next month, and shouldn't have
 this problem any more.
 
 The machine I have that doesn't show this problem is running a kernel:
 
 FreeBSD no2.ideal.net.au 3.3-STABLE FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #2: Tue Nov 30

 Cheers,
 
 Rob
