It took two weeks to fix this problem, and therefore I do have a few questions.
The error turned out to be in err.h. The file located in /usr/include was
totally different from the one located in /usr/src/include.

You can see the entire diff at http://pastebin.com/322918
My question is: I deleted /usr/src, and I cvsup'ed everything. When I do a make
buildworld, why does not the new err.h get copied from /usr/src/include to
/usr/include? This would have solved my problem two weeks ago :)
build = recompile things
install = put them where they belong in the filesystem
buildworld doesn't install the file because it's not supposed to.
Does err.h get copied only when you do a make installworld?
I would expect so. Why don't you try it?
Another question, why on earth did I have an old version of err.h? I was running
5.4 RELEASE, and it was installed from an ISO downloaded at FreeBSD.org
That does not look like an *old* version, it looks like a completely
different file. Did you install anything not from ports that might have
overwritten it? Did you try and install a port into a target hierarchy
that /usr/local? (The same copyright header as the real 5.4 one exists
in err.h from 4.11).
Operating system bugs are rare compared to user errors, I'm afraid.
