One other thought here: do we *really* want such a critical-and-hard-
to-test aspect of our behavior to be handled completely differently
on different platforms?  I'd lean to ignoring the Linux/FreeBSD
facilities, because otherwise we're basically doubling our testing
problems in exchange for not much.
