Neither of which answered my questions, I'm sorry. My question was not 
about stack sizes in 32 or 64 bit installations, nor about the quality 
of the fix (if I parse the rm libtrh comment correctly).

I simply asked if it's safe to assume the sysctl to be an integer in 
11.1 (I'm guessing yes looking at the commits to STABLE, but wanted to 
be sure), and I also asked why wasn't the bsdinstall-er option change 
MFC'd after 1 day, two weeks ago, whether it's by omission, simply 
ENOTIME, or something else...
