The problem here is that you apparently don't read what I write to you.
I told you *exactly* what kind of network problem I think it is (IPv6 
including the details).  I told you it might be an OS problem and that you 
should ask FreeBSD, and that you could search the Internet for _umtx_op.  
After you suggested gdb I said that could "possibly" provide some 
information.  There is no reason for me to describe how Bacula works because 
at this point I don't think this is a Bacula problem.

You have consumed about 45 minutes of my time; you not read or have rejected 
every idea I have given you; you criticize the bacula-users list, which I 
find gives very good advice as justification for bypassing them; then you 
complain we haven't even thrown you a bone.  That is not going to help 
getting to a solution to your problem.
