    It took me more than a week and almost 20 kernel (and some
    buildworlds) compilations to get the problem identified and be able to
    use a workaround. It will take me much more than that to make me walk
    from FreeBSD :)
    I can't stress enough my respect for this project and the people who
    make it what it is: Thank you!
