Schily,
Please add the following info to your readme for FreeBSD. Enabling POSIX
scheduling as described below does in fact make the error message go away.

Thanks,

Enable the Posix scheduling stuff in your kernel; you'll produce
more reliable burns at higher speeds if your machine is busy
(well, that's been my experience)

options         "P1003_1B"
options         "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING"
options         "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L"
