This is no longer the right fix. It was confirmed that the patch in
kern/61448, which I recently committed to HEAD, works (better). Please stay
away from the patch above as it is a hack. If nothing else helps - however -
please send me a HEADSUP! There is also another rl(4) PR: kern/63190 which I
haven't heard back from, yet.
