Hmm. I'd just finished pulling down FreeBSD-12.0-ALPHA9 and failing
to reproduce any problem with that ... and then I noticed your box
said it was on ALPHA10, which I'd missed seeing in the clutter of
FreeBSD's download server. I'm about halfway through switching to
that, but I bet it will work too. Was your Python install built
with any special switches? I just used what came from "pkg install".
