minio package and ports on HardenedBSD and probably FreeBSD has problems...

[B.C. Cotman]

Hello,

Some feedback for people maintaining the minio pkg or ports source tree...

The last known "version" of minio which works with HardenedBSD:
RELEASE.2025-03-12T18-04-18Z runs.

The one before it and a few checked every few months worked.

These versions all build but fail to run:
RELEASE.2025-04-03T14-56-28Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-04-08T15-41-24Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-04-22T22-12-26Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-05-24T17-08-30Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-06-13T11-33-47Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-07-18T21-56-31Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-07-23T15-54-02Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-09-06T17-38-46Z failed: panic
RELEASE.2025-09-07T16-13-09Z failed: panic

If you have logging enabled, you see a "panic" in the log:

(Example 2 logged lines)

This appears to be related to a bug report when trying to run under OpenBSD:
