Hiroshi-san,

Thanks for spotting this and providing a fix, but just sending mail to
ports@ is not a good way to get it committed. It is far too likely to
be missed by anyone who can check it out, confirm the fix, and commit
it.

Could you submit it as a PR? You can either use the bug submission
form at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html or use the send-pr command
on a FreeBSD system. That will enter it in the FreeBSD bug tracking
system and, while it may not be acted on quickly, it will not get lost
and, when one of the overworked ports team gets a chance, it will get
processed.

Thanks so much for spotting this problem and submitting the patch.
