Resolved is probably not the correct word as this will trigger a flurry
of emails from -RELEASE users.  A solution might be to modify
bsd.port.mk to detect OSVERSIONs that don't have the fix, then add a
dependency on sysutils/pkg_install.  The problem then comes to package
users who may not have a /usr/ports at all.  If they don't know to use
the pkg_install tools in LOCALBASE, they'll get package installation
problems.  I'm not sure what the best solution for them is.
