Yes - that's correct.  This was covered late January and 10.1Stable contains the fix.

(Cut/paste of an email between ports@ and John Marshall which explains the situation :)

Thank you so much for posting this link!  Merging r275456 and r275502
from stable/10 to my releng/10.1 src tree and rebuilding and installing
the kernel, means that I can once again manage squid 3.4.n via the rc.d
script instead of a prescribed series of kill(1) commands.

...and thank you rea@ and kib@ for the patches!
