Thanks for the information.  Since this system doesn't have any source on it (I planned to use freebsd-update for updates), I'll have to wait for 9.1 to arrive.  In the meantime I still have an 8.2 system I can hang on to for doing that work.  I was hoping to use it for other purposes, but that will just have to wait a couple months.
