Well, I just cvsup'ed my copy of 3.4-stable, and I found that
ffs_softdep.c is at:
*
* from: @(#)ffs_softdep.c 9.36 (McKusick) 5/6/99
* $FreeBSD: src/sys/contrib/softupdates/ffs_softdep.c,v 1.34.2.3

So I guess, ffs_softdep.c in -stable doesn't have the patch you did in
December, because there have been no commits since August. Is anyone able
to commit this change back to -stable?
