The error above was fixed in FreeBSD r363035, by reverting r363031 as 
you've already found out.  In order to fix it locally you need to update 
your FreeBSD system.  Updating FreeBSD Current is generally accomplished 
by rebuilding and installing it from source.  Instructions on that can 
be found here:
