The commit suggests that one of these leaks may be platform specific,
depending on padding of struct timeval.  But the identification[] member
seems to allow for leakage on any platform.

kfreebsd-8 and kfreebsd-9 in wheezy will need the patch from r254338

kfreebsd-9 in jessie/sid will need updating to r254355 or later

kfreebsd-10 in experimental will need updating to r254338 or later

kfreebsd-8 8.1 in oldstable looks to be affected too (likely introduced
in r169378 or earlier).  The same patch should be suitable.
