If (and I do not really doubt you) this is true, this is most bizzare.
I'll try that.  I did.  Same thing.

I would love to, but that exceeds my time available :-(
I do not mind running options, but I will not do justice to this project if
I tried to make myself DEC Alpha expert overnight.  Since DU ran fine, and
NetBSD runs fine, I tend to leave it in the ``FreeBSD has a problem''
category.  Still needs solving, of course, but me thinks not a
configuration problem on this side of the universe.

Willing to be proven wrong :-)
