>Description:
I talked about this issue on freebsd-ports late last month. Please
read the post for full details:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-June/084557.html
The scope of impact is described further here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-June/084561.html
After a heated discussion (understandably so), where I was more
or less told (but I'm still not entirely certain) "too bad", I
came up with a very obvious/clean patch for the issue described:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-June/084569.html
The reason I'm filing this PR is because I made mental note that
if I didn't receive a response from bapt@ (particularly with regards
to the patch) within 7 days I would file a PR for tracking purposes
so that things didn't get lost in the chaos (easy to do/forget given
the volume of responsibilities!)
