Um, the build breakage was a static function which became unstaticized
without a prototype.  The "fix" is to add static back to the function.
The functionality behind the patch (the rest of it) HAD been run-time
tested and fixed known problems for us and had been in the NetBSD tree for
a few weeks.

It so happens that spare time to work on FreeBSD seems to work in relation
to the inverse of release cycles.  :)  So mea culpa, etc., will try harder
next time.
