This *may* be reason enough for you to upgrade to FreeBSD 3.0.  I had the same
sort of problem under 2.2.7-STABLE with an AWE 64, Voxware (with the awedrv
0.4.2c patches), and RealPlayer for Linux.

Upgrading to 3.0-CURRENT cured everything for me.  Presto!  Voila!

I had *thought* that the latest mods to the Linux emulation code had been backed
into -stable, but even as recently as a week ago or so (the last time I cvsup'ed
and built -stable) the problem still existed.  Emulation under 3.0, on the other
hand, is damn near flawless, as far as I can tell (so far).

Despite the warnings Re: 3.0's stability for a production environment, I've
found it to be a solid performer, and I feel pretty safe with it (a lot safer
than I did with earlier versions of -current, for sure).  YMMV, of course.

If you're leery of going the full 3.0 upgrade route, you might try upgrading to
-stable and see if this helps.  Perhaps this problem has been fixed by now.

Excellent day for putting Slinkies on an escalator.
