The best way to do this is to generate a diff showing the changes you
made to the sio.c file:

    diff -u sio.c.orig sio.c > sio.diff

and attach it to a bug-report generated via send-pr:

    send-pr -P > /tmp/problem-report
    vi /tmp/problem-report
    send-pr -f /tmp/problem-report

Since you're sending in a fix to a problem, you should put '[PATCH]'
as the first word of the synopsis.  Don't forget to include supporting
information, like the pnpinfo output.

The send-pr(1) man page and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/
explain all about the use of send-pr(1) with FreeBSD.

This is fodder for a second bug report.
