--- Comment #2 from David Bright <dab at freebsd.org> ---
Sreeram, please let me know if you are still interested in pursuing a fix to
this bug. I can help you with that if so.

One change I would suggest in your proposed patch is to exchange the order of
the F_FILE and F_FORW cases so that the clean up applicable to F_FORW is not
also done for the F_FILE case. Granted, the "if (f->f_un.f_forw.f_addr)" test
would (should) fail  in the F_FILE case, but it would still be cleaner not to
attempt it at all. Also, it would be very helpful if you could rebase your
patch on the current HEAD branch, which is where it would first be integrated
into the FreeBSD code base.

If you do not want to pursue this fix, I will do so myself, based on the
information you have provided so far.

Thank you.
