interesting. fchown is called? am i correct to think that something
permission based is causing this?  anyhow, one really needs to
understand c/c++ or debugging techniques to understand an strace dump.
(..or to set breakpoints in gdb to accurately debug the code)

although this might be unrelated, but i tried unzipping programfiles
within cygwin on winxp lately and teh programs would refuse to run
unless they were unzipped with an official win32 unzipper (such as teh
default unzip program in winxp).  apperantly, when i unziped the files
in cygwin, the executables were not executable and i had to "chown a+x
*.exe" ...etc.  this whole paragraph may be totally non-relavent to your
scenario though!  

this (hopefully) looks like it might be easily solvable.

check with other freebsd users of the same version your using to ensure
that the libs that they use to run bf1942 are in sync your libs?

i've only installed freebsd briefly and got irritated that it didn't
know what an nvidia card was. :-/   I do not really understand the
layout of the o/s as I have only tried it for a brief period of time.

from the data you've provided, somebody hopefully will chime-in here ;-)
