Certainly, thanks... very interesting! Although it doesn't seems to be the problem, since i didn't set this kernel option. On the other hand, i am currently testing RELENG_6, not -CURRENT: maybe is this problem finally fixed on HEAD (i will give it a try in a near future, if i can). Thank you, -- -jpeg.
