As Ollivier Robert pointed out, it is a known problem.  Kirk says
it's non-trivial to fix (though I'm sure he'll welcome your patches :-).
The suggested work-around is not to run softupdates on root.

In any case, you should not be doing lots of writes to root, so the
lack of softupdates should not be a problem.
