Oops, the machine that I previously used for FreeBSD 7.x testing has
been upgraded and is now running 8.x as well. I correct my previous
claim: The code actually works fine on FreeBSD 7.2 machines. It's also
fine on OpenBSD (4.7) and MacOS (Darwin 8.11). So it seems something was
changed / broken in FreeBSD 8.0.

For completeness, I also tested on a FreeBSD 9-CURRENT system and this
shows the same broken behaviour as the FreeBSD 8.0 release.
