That just begs the question as to what I need to be iterating over. Nonetheless, if I haven't fixed it by the next update I'll at least have made pch detection failure less disastrous.

This change should fix the memory leak you're seeing:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics/commit/308354eb2196b0adcbd24f4f7ba6a8da14e0d98e

Note that the remote has changed:

https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics.git

I doubt this will magically make Atom support work. But it will allow us to make it to the next problem.
