Freeze on closing terminal that runs wpa_supplicant

I am running 8.0-RELEASE on a notebook with the Intel 3945 WiFi. I usually start wpa_supplicant [...] on a terminal when entering gnome followed by the dhcpcd call to use the WiFi connection. After having finished work and closing the terminal that runs wpa_supplicant, everything freezes and I have to turn the power off. Any suggestions? Is there a reason you don't use the standard incantation of ifconfig_wlan0=WPA DHCP in /etc/rc.conf? An alternative would be to manually do an /etc/rc.d/netif stop wlan0 or, even ifconfig wlan0 down. I suspect that yanking the parent process out from under the wpa_supplicant is causing a deadlock. (This is a bug, but I have no idea how difficult it might be to fix.) -- R.
