    Argh. This frustrates me. I did some searching on various mailing lists
    before, and when they talked about switching into /var/empty they were
    talking about the box abruptly attempting to make DNS lookups on the
    localhost.

    That wasn't what I was seeing, so I thought it was something different.
    But I went looking again, and this time found my exact situation on
    freebsd,stable. And yes, it's the privilege separation / chroot issue.

    My apologies for wasting time and bandwidth.
