Sigh, we found this too late :-(

I am very sorry to hear that this has influenced the functionality of
your work.

JFYI, I have drafted a errata patch for RELENG_6 which documents the
problem and a potential workaround for it and it is now under review and
we can get it on the website soon.

An errata candidate is currently under test and further refinement.
After we are sure that the problem were properly fixed, the release
engineering team is likely to publish an errata (would eventually done
against RELENG_6_1 so users using the errata branch would get it through
CVSup or freebsd-update) for this.

Cheers,
