I did some more investigating and can't now reproduce the above
behaviour.  Entering either "boot -s" to the FreeBSD loader or
"boot -fl s" to the SRM do the same thing.  I haven't touched my
SRM and that part of elf_exec() hasn't functionally changed for
more than 2 years so I have no idea how I came to the above
conclusion.

My apologies for circulating mis-information.
