Well, I did pretty much everything you've said, except this:

I believe I've found the relevant section, but I'm not sure of the
proper way to fix it.

   ## Check if we want to allow growisofs to cross the 4gb boundary
   def is4gbsupported(self):
      processi = popen2.Popen4("uname -s -r")
      status = processi.wait()
      if not os.WIFEXITED(status):
         return 1
      if os.WEXITSTATUS(status) != 0:
         return 1
      strres = processi.fromchild.readline()[0:-1]
      version = re.search(r"Linux (\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)", strres)
      if not version: # Non-Linux: allow
         return 1

I know nothing about Python (I'm assuming it's a Python script because
it says "Python" at the top of the file :) and don't know exactly what
this is testing for. What exactly are we returning 1 for? I'm guessing
that returning 1 means yes, we do support post-4g, in which case we
want to return 0 for FreeBSD. The quick fix is, of course, to comment
out the whole function and return the correct value. The correct fix is
of course to add a test for FreeBSD.

For now I'm going to assume I want to return 0, quick-fix this script,
and try the new settings. 

Thanks again for your help.

Merry Christmas.
