Good to hear that it works for you, too.  So, one long-standing bug less.

However, the real challenge could turn out to be finding a committer for 
RELENG_4, now that everybody is working on RELENG_5 and above.  I have a 
number of PRs in GNATS already that are slowly rotting away since 
apparently nobody is willing to deal with them, even though they all 
have patches attached.  So I stopped submitting PRs for now.  Wasted 
time, unfortunately.
