Hi, thanks for submitting this. I wonder could you try the patch
at

  http://people.freebsd.org/~iedowse/dump_117603.diff

instead? There appears to be one problem with the original patch,
as it passes an invalid NULL argument to sigsuspend(), which would
have caused it to return immediately with an EFAULT errno. As far
as I can tell that would have broken the synchronisation and caused
blocks to be written out of order at times.
