William,

The solution below was given to me by Dan Langille for my similar situation.  upgrade to 9.3 from 9.2 that apparently did not upgrade userland

----------------------------------------------------------------------
env UNAME_r=9.2-RELEASE freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.3-RELEASE
freebsd-update install
freebsd-update install

and perhaps a third:

freebsd-update install
----------------------------------------------------------------------


I have not done this on my box yet.  I just copied the missing libraries into /usr/lib/private and I'm up.

I do intend on doing this soon though.  I'd rather not have another morning like yesterday where I had a lot of program debugging to do on this server and all I had was a single serial console.  It sucked.

Here's the bugzilla report for my issue

Public thanks to Glen Barber and Dan Langille for the followup and solution to this issue.
