ROTFL... this mail on ports@ is from you... :-)

I suggest to contact the port maintainer with the fix. If he doesn't  
answer, send a PR. As soon as someone (maintainer / other committer in  
the PR case) has time and motivation, the fix will get committed.

Bye,
Alexander (ENOTIME ATM, else I would have taken care about this already).
