Pardon my ignorance, but can you give me a step-by-step on how to
reproduce this?  I have a couple VMware FreeBSD sessions up and
want to see if I can reproduce it there.  I also have an actual
FreeBSD testbox at home which I can format and reinstall.

(I'm not denying the problem exists, I just want to reproduce it,
and I think those steps would be useful to those who can fix the
problem too.)
