Comment(by kazu-yamamoto):

 I know this patch. Probably my machine("12 cores" machine (Intel Xeon
 E5645, two sockets, 6 cores per 1 CPU, two QPI between two CPUs)) is too
 fast. On my machine, 3 tries are not good enough. I modified the make file
 so as to retry 4 times.

 I should note that I have another machine of same spec and run Linux 3 on
 it. It does not cause this problem without this kind patch. So, I believe
 that we can solve this even on FreeBSD.
