Kind of - it's even weirder, as part of the libraries are bundled with
the FreeBSD base system (together with the kernel).  When using current
there could be a window where the packages are built against stale
libraries, because the ones in base have been updated, but the
packages haven't been rebuilt yet.

I will switch to use the last production release.

Thanks, Roger.
