updated version of Tim's patch

This issue is still present in FreeBSD-15 [15.0-RELEASE-p6].

Tim's patch still applies and solves the problem. Jilles is correct imho, the
test should be

  if (rv == NS_RETURN && *errnop == ERANGE) {

but in the current code errnop should be zero otherwise.

I don't know why the patch keyword was removed from this issue, just to be
sure, here is an updated version of Tim's patch which applies without fuss
(please, credit him for this).

It would be very nice to see this fixed in the next release.

Cheers
Björn Fischer
