I've got reports of that on all FreeBSDs from current trunk to 8.4.
I'd need such a system to dig into it.

Other notes I made from someone else's test-suite.log on FreeBSD:

  tests/misc/factor-parallel.sh
    It's as if execl() isn't passing environ though and thus PATH is not 
correct.
    Alternatively `sh -c` is not honoring PATH.

  version-etc.sh
    {who,user,pinky}: /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory

  tests/misc/stty.sh
    stty: standard input: error setting 'extproc': Inappropriate ioctl for 
device
      TIOCEXT is defined but that ioctl is not supported
      On OSX it works
      There was talk of removing it in 2004, though I'm not sure that happened
        
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-June/028842.html

  tests/cp/backup-dir.sh
  tests/cp/cp-parents.sh
  tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh
  tests/cp/file-perm-race.sh
  and many more
    cp: preserving permissions for 'y/x': Operation not supported
      I need to trace this to see why fchmod(at) is failing

  tests/readlink/multi.sh
    printf '/1 /1 /1 ' | xargs -n2 readlink ...
      xargs: environment is too large for exec
        wut?

thanks for testing!
