The trick is someone feeling up to the task of knowing enough C, C++, and what's happening on OS X/BSD to validate the patch and apply it. Usually that's Ronald or Ned and Ronald never applied his patch, so I guess that leaves Ned. :) If Ned doesn't have the time to look then just ping the issue in a week and I will apply it since both you and FreeBSD are already carrying the patch forward.
