Fort Bug - FreeBSD

Hi all. I ran into an issue getting Fort to run on FreeBSD: Jul 2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: - Resource temporarily unavailable Jul 2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: Client socket read interrupted Jul 2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: - Resource temporarily unavailableJul 2 10:46:14 nms2 fort[14304]: ERR: Error sending IPv6 Prefix PDU to client.
I reached out to the developers and they discovered a bug that appears to be FreeBSD-specific. They issued a pre-release fix that I tested yesterday, which resolves the problem. Details about it here:
https://github.com/NICMx/FORT-validator/commit/bfb99704ad5c0476f401be57ee2403652a0a8af4They expect to have a full release of the updated code in a couple of weeks, but just in case anyone runs into this problem, this is what you can do to repair it for the time being.
This raises an interesting observation for me - how many people are running Fort on FreeBSD? Considering this bug's presence, it'd seem not a lot (fair point, I've only tested it on FreeBSD-13).
Mark.
