>Description:
On FreeBSD systems,with bind-9.1.0 the server logs error messages
like "fcntl(8, F_SETFL, 4): Inappropriate ioctl for
device".  This is due to a bug in the FreeBSD
/dev/random device.

Include the bug fix in 3-STABLE series.

 This may be due to a bug in bind-9.1.0.  O_NONBLOCK isn't implemented
 in /dev/random in FreeBSD-3.5, so it is correct for attempts to set it
 to fail.
 
 This is a bug in FreeBSD-current.  O_NONBLOCK is implemented in /dev/random
 in FreeBSD-current, but attempts to set it using fcntl() fail because
 random_ioctl() broken.  Devices that support O_NONBLOCK must have an
 ioctl routine that returns success for FIONBIO.  This is just to support
 broken drivers that store the blocking state in a per-device variable.
 Non-broken drivers use the blocking state passed to their i/o functions.
 So does /dev/random, but the bug makes the state set by open() unchangeable.
