This looks similar to 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-March/047363.html and 
http://frontrangebsd.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2005-March/010420.html.

The first thread has a patch in a follow-up, which never was followed up upon, 
perhaps you can try it - I'm not sure however if it only addressed the kernel
