Hi Shawn,

There are also some previous threads on this topic in the archives
that could help give you some background.  The discussion was in reply
to the r202525 commit message.

I described a hacky workaround that works for me in:

Can you give it a try?  If it "works" for you that will at least
suggest we share the same issue on FreeBSD and Linux.
