Hi Tom,
Since it does indeed look like you _are_ the only one, I'd suggest
putting this discussion on hold until you can come back to the list
with the only thing that will carry the thread forward in a productive
direction. Namely, come up with an _exact_ set of (preferably
command-line) instructions for reproducing the problem.
Since we're discussing free software, you can be fairly confident that
this isn't a conspiracy to shut you up. It's just difficult for anyone
to comment on symptoms he or she imagines impossible without seeing the
problem you're reporting. If you can produce a step-by-step guide to
reproducing the problem, you're more likely to get some solid answers to
your questions.
Until then, I imagine everyone else is probably thinking the same thing
I am -- "wtf?!" :-)
Later,
Sheldon
PS: I'd also suggest that you use just _one_ FreeBSD mailing list when
you do follow up.
