Works fine on 7.0-STABLE from end of last week (i.e., doesn't core-dump, and 
outputs the contents of test-descriptor-passing.c, to which I adapted the 
filename).

uname -a:

FreeBSD phoenix.modelnine.org 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #2: Fri Apr 11 
13:46:16 CEST 2008     root at phoenix.modelnine.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HEIKO  
i386

I ran the program as an unprivileged user.
