Aside from my own concerns, I thought it might be useful
for others to know, as the LOR's were produced by the kernel
installed from the distribution media (disk 1). Also, in the
event I'm not the *only* one experiencing these LOR's. It might
be nice replace the kernel that's currently on the media, with
one that won't do this. As I imagine many who install FreeBSD
from the media, might never build their own.
The sysctl/tunable sounds like a real winner. :)

Thanks for taking the time to respond, John.
