net-mgmt/pmacct port

[John Von Essen]

I was playing around with this when I noticed that over time, zombie
processes weren't being cleaned out. So after a few days, there were a
couple 100 zombie processes. This ONLY effects 4.X FreeBSD. 5.X works
fine.

I contacted the author of pmacct, and we were able to fix the bug. The
port is version 0.8.5. The current version available for download is
0.8.7. And in a week or two, 0.8.8 will be released. The author of pmacct
(Paolo) did two things. First, he created a 0.8.5 patch for right now. And
he has also patched the 0.8.8 code which will be released shortly.

So we can either update the existing port with the patch, or just wait
till 0.8.8 is released, and just modify the port version.

I have attached the 0.8.5 patch just in case. Let me know.

Thanks
John
