I guess that when you forget sudo, this is where you end up. The 
script just does not know when to quit. Other scenarios include situations 
where the jails mountpoint is for some reasons unavailable.

Here is the output I get from not running the jail script as root:

Starting jails:mount_nullfs: Operation not permitted
devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_RGETNEXT: Operation not permitted
mount: dev : Operation not permitted
/etc/rc.d/jail: WARNING: devfs_domount(): Unable to mount devfs on 
/usr/jails/foo.com/dev
/etc/rc.d/jail: WARNING: devfs_mount_jail: devfs was not mounted on 
/usr/jails/foo.com/dev
ln: log: Permission denied
mount: /usr/jails/foo.com/dev/fd: No such file or directory
mount: proc : Operation not permitted
  cannot start jail "foo_com":
