Was there an outcome to solve this problem? The "fix" that we're using on freebsd.org is clearly wrong and seems to cause all sorts of nastiness including reports of 'broken pipe' and the server spinning consuming 100% of cpu. I'm thinking of backing out to 1.11.1-p1+hacks since we didn't have the problem there.
