We still support FreeBSD 6.x. Let's hold on regression-test until after  
FreeBSD 8.0 released. The nspr doesn't need to be shoot pointyhat down

You have the approve to commit it as long as it has been tested and  
without that regression-test patch. After FreeBSD 8.0 released, one of us  
can enable that regression-test and see how it goes.
