Going to the 2.0.3 binaries did it.  Thanks for the pointer. 

The 3.3-RELEASE distribution of FreeBSD apparently is not a patched
release (though it seems to have a patch file as part of the package,
some experimenting will be needed to determine if that patch was really
applied in the binary build...)


Cheers,
