This problem was fixed by Ruslan Ermilov <ru@freebsd.org> when the
problem was brought to our attention by means of a Problem Report [PR].
If I remember everything correctly, this is fixed in 4-STABLE and
5-CURRENT since early August.
We encourage users to update to 4-STABLE if this programming mistake
causes any problems for them.
HTH,
