It seems that RELENG_7 carries a newer version of driver, so I guess the
problem should have been resolved.  Part of changes were MFC'ed 5 months
ago to RELENG_6, so you may also want to try a RELENG_6 snapshot from:

In order to verify if it resolves your problem.  Let us know if the
problem still persists.
