Actually, it is better than the commercial experience. If FreeBSD had been a commercial product, no doubt it would have taken months or years to have this fixed, if at all. And, being open source, I was able to fix it myself, even if my solution was a kludge. Anyway, being part of the fantastic OS that FreeBSD is, in response to my bug report, it got fixed in one day, and I got a polite response from the writer of the software as well.
