I'd like to report this as a bug. I posted this to freebsd-current earlier, but only got one answer for someone else with the same problem. I have not been able to verify this currently with FreeBSD 4.8, as the internet connect here is very slow. I'm going to try that later today. What address should I send bug report followups to?
