To both of you:

Soren posted a patch here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=87585&cat=

and neither of you apparently tested, thus Soren put the
fix in and closed the PR

One of you needs to file a new PR, and reference the old one
kern/87585, and then the other one of you needs to submit
followup - that way, both of you will have your e-mail
addresses tied to the new PR, and this time, when the maintainer
writes a patch, you need to test it.
