As a follow up for the list...
I rebuilt world and kernel on Nov 22nd. Since this time I have not
noticed the above mentioned issue #3. I did not dig through any commit
logs... but appears as though something changed to fix it.
Fwiw...
Note that I did make a change to fix item #2 on the advice of another
FreeBSD'er. That change did not affect item #3. I did still see item
#3 occurring until I rebuilt on the 22nd.
Thanks to all.
