Ahhh. IIRC, Jim Reid had a similar problem a few months ago, also on BSD.
Don't know what version he was using, or if he ever found a solution :-(

That should be good, then :-)

So, no clues there either, then :-(

I am inclined to agree; but it seems to be something peculiar to the way
this logic behaves on BSD, since it seems to work fine on other platforms.

Wish I could be more helpful, but without a BSD system, I'm not sure what
I
can do :-( Like you, I'm not even sure either, where to look for the code
in which the fault might lie. If I can find the time later, I'll have a
look around.
