This triggers known and extremely painful to fix bugs in FreeBSD.
Your best work-around is to use ports/emulators/mtools rather than

I had a browse back a while ago at the commits on DF to try and pinpoint

investigate the changes in any detail, but these were the commits I
identified:

http://freshbsd.org/2007/06/13/21/58/38
