ACK, Best we can tell is that the GCC in FreeBSD is mangling arrays that occurs inside the xcred struct when using stack-protector-all. It is possible the same version of GCC does this on Linux too, but no one still seriously uses the 6 year old 4.2.x release, apart from perhaps enterprise distros, who would likely have fixed the buggy gcc anyway.
