>Description:
	I talked about this issue on freebsd-ports late last month.  Please
	read the post for full details:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-June/084557.html

	The scope of impact is described further here:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-June/084561.html

	After a heated discussion (understandably so), where I was more
	or less told (but I'm still not entirely certain) "too bad", I
	came up with a very obvious/clean patch for the issue described:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-June/084569.html

	The reason I'm filing this PR is because I made mental note that
	if I didn't receive a response from bapt@ (particularly with regards
	to the patch) within 7 days I would file a PR for tracking purposes
	so that things didn't get lost in the chaos (easy to do/forget given
	the volume of responsibilities!)
>How-To-Repeat:
	See posts mentioned above; step-by-step instructions are there, or
	also here:
