I'm not interested in politics, I just want this fixed. Well it is fixed
in my local source tree, but since FreeBSD 4.x is still the only FreeBSD
version stable enough for me (see showstoppers.html), I'm still bound to
libc_r and whether you want to deprecate it in -CURRENT or not is none
of my concern.

Well, in fact I'm for it, since KSE is a very suitable replacement
indeed. Still, *repeating* that same "deprecated!" response over and
over does not help anyone on FreeBSD 4.x.

<rant>
So: I have a fix for the bug in 4.x. If you don't want it fixed, close
the PR and don't do anything about it, otherwise, let someone who cares
about it answer my mail, as I asked for in the first place:

"Could someone still interested in libc_r have a look at it ?"
