>Description:
GEOM outputs to the console, sometimes obscuring its own output and the output of other console messages.  The text is often one character from geom alternating with one character from other output.  
It is a minor aesthetic issue only and has no effect on system stability, however it can make debugging certain things a bit more difficult on the console.  

>How-To-Repeat:
This has occured while unplugging an msdosfs USB flash dongle (geom complains about msdosfs disk label, usb is telling me about the usb device going away), and during shutdown (not sure exactly what is being said by geom here, it's very difficult to read due to how the "syncing disks" output occurs).
