I remember looking at this patch. The problem is it does something
like :

#ifdef *BSD..
	new code...
#else
	original code.
#endif

We don't accept patches that are specific to a particular OS
in this way anymore (unless there's a really good reason). The
correct way to do this is to add a feature test in configure.in
that checks if this function works correctly, that way it gets
fixed for all platforms it is broken on.

A patch like that would get accepted immediately. Without it,
we have to write the feature test.
