This only happens when you run w/ --debug?  If yes, that means you can
still use the software.  Which is good.  I've pinged Dmitry (FreeIPMI's
primary BSD guy) to see if he can look into the null-fields.  I don't
have a BSD system around, so I'm sort of limited in my ability to look
into it.

Lets see.  The default configuration is that temperature sensors (which
I assume is what you're interested in) I don't have any "warning"
conditions.  I have either nominal or critical.  This can be adjusted
with the sensors.conf file as you've already seemed to try.

But, it does seem there is a bug in that part of the code.  Let me look
into it and I'll get back to you.
