I have just spent a couple of hours debugging and documenting the problem
and submitted a kernel patch:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/63171

But dammit, I've just discovered that the fix was posted already on
27th September last year:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/57273

To prevent further time wasting, can someone please commit one of these?
(Both fix the rollover problem, but kern/63171 also fixes a pointer type
mismatch problem)

Thanks,

Brian Candler.
