Read there more about it - and why Linux is possible failing.

http://groups.google.de/groups?hl=de&threadm=20020121100217.81572.qmail%40web14002.mail.yahoo.com.lucky.freebsd.current&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Dde%26group%3Dlucky.freebsd.stable

Not being striked by a bug does not mean that you are not using this feature -
perhaps you are using it in a different way.

IF there was a bug - be sure it would be worked out before the upcoming release
of FreeBSD 4.5.

Hope that helps
