This bug has been around for a very long time:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212812

There was some anecdotal evidence that it was related to code-caching,
with a possible workaround, but no fixes for it have been committed.
The workarounds do not appear to work anymore with the latest updates,
though.

CHeers.
