Hi Scot,

Jun Kuriyama brought it to our attention.  There is only one
slight problem with the patch:  It doesn't account for the future
when rc.subr in the system might not provide expected behavior or
support for some ports.  Which means at some point we need to
find some way to support older 5.x systems with rcNG.

But for now portmgr is going to test the patch on bento and
hopefully commit soon.

regards,
