Yes, I saw your advice, and will follow it.
The main idea - may be I missed something and there will be an easy
fix to my problem. I want to make sure that the problem exists, and
I'm not the only person faced with this error. And also I have a small
hope that problem will be fixed by freebsd team :-).
Best regards,
Denis
