Adrian,

jhb asked that I ask you to MFC. I did so and, since you declined (as is
your right and I understand that an MFC takes a fair bit of time to do
correctly), I am hoping someone who has a commit bit and some spare time
will take this one.

I did confirm that it has not been MFCed before opening the ticket and
included a patch that applies cleanly to 10-STABLE as of today. (This code
in Stable has not changed for over a year.)
