I have the exact same problem..both under 5.0-CURRENT and 3.3-RELEASE.. but
I've only got access to the -CURRENT machine now. An example of those evil
values that it returns can be had via the perl one-liner in the joy(4)
manpage..
www% perl -e 'open(JOY,"/dev/joy0")||die;while(1){sysread(JOY,$x,16);
@j=unpack("iiii",$x);print "@j\n";sleep(1);}'

etc etc
The module even fails to load here, so I can't try that, and this happens
with and without a joystick attached.. if you get a solution to this problem,
please clue me in on it :)
