Jonny, When I started using FreeBSD a month or so ago I experienced the same problem. The only workable solution for me was to use 4.11. I corresponded with Søren Schmidt about this, but he could find no reason for this occurrence. If anyone can suggest a test for me to run to gather data for this I would be more than happy to do so.
