Sorry to follow-up to myself, but it looks like this problem can be
fixed by the patch in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/66479.  I saw the
original NetBSD PR that reported this:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=24967, and my
symptoms look the same.

I'll try and build a release with this patch to see if it does the
trick.  In the meantime, if someone could have a look at this PR, that
would be great.
