If you did know about the bug before I did, I may well critisize you: Why didn't you send a bug report (as I did) in order to get this fatal bug fixed instead of introducing a "workaround" that only partially hides the problem? Note that FreeBSD has been known to work correctly _before_ this bug has been introduced.
