It seems this is a general problem, but mostly on the application
side. See for example:
Dear all,
on a quite fresh vanilla (read: GENERIC)
FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p14 (amd64)
I get many CommVault-related warnings (ioctl sign-extension ioctl) similar to
those discussed for ages related to Python (June 2010 and before).
This only happens on amd64, not on the previously used i386
