I was running it as root.

It turned out that the problem hitting me was due to a recent
change to src/sys/compat/linux/linux_signal.c in the
freebsd-current branch.  The change was made early last week.
The first attempt to fix the problem was made on Friday, but
that didn't quite fix it.

If you check the freebsd-current mailing list, in the thread
on "Re: Linux compat broken??" there is a suggested patch from
Tor Egge which fixed the problem I was having.  I expect that
patch will be committed very soon.

So, if anyone else runs into this problem (which is possible
since daemonnews just announced patchset 3), then you can
probably just wait a day or two and then rebuild your
freebsd-current world...
