That is very strange.

libamandad.a is a static library, and as such isn't used by Amanda in
any way, since all of the binaries either link against a shared library
or already contain the relevant code from libamanda.a.  That makes it
all the more unlikely that Amanda itself is somehow modifying that
library.

This is probably something you should take up with the FreeBSD folks.
You can feel free to direct them to this list, or me personally, if they
have any questions.
