I am trying to port the ACE library (
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html ) to FreeBSD-CURRENT, and
it is very confusing that code in -STABLE which compiled and worked,
does not work the same way in -CURRENT.

The major number has already been bumped, I thought. If this is true
then we've only broken compatibility with older versions of -current
after the version number was bumped but before this change, right?
However, this

If I'm reading this backtrace right, the thread handling the sound

As a safety check we should probably zero the pid right before zfree()'ing a

have a valid pid if we do this.
Should not be necessary.
