... and as I posted to the ports list, it may not be a problem
with the port.  I had exactly the same problem on a -current box
and after I updated my kernel to match my world the problem
went away.  Suggesting one of two things.  Something changed in
the kernel or linux.ko that made that made a new vesion of the
latter not work correctly with a 50+ days old version of the
former.  Or that the following options might be required now
(since I added them when I rebuilt my kernel).

	options P1003_1B
	options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
	options _KPOSIX_VERSION=1999309L

I doubt this had anything to do with the problem, but even the
phases of the moon have been shown to affect software at times.

Can you reproduce this on your box?  Does your kernel, world
(especialy linux.ko) match?  Can you try adding the options
above and see if it works then?
