If you meant RELENG_4_# where you said RELENG_#, then yes, this is
correct.  The RELENG_4 branch was not affected, since shortly after
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE was out, a new version of realpath(3) was imported
into the tree, and it did not have this problem.

Thus, if you have a reasonably recent -STABLE (you seem to, since you
mention realpath.c rev. 1.9.2.2), there's nothing to fear - not for
this problem, at least.

G'luck,
Peter
