 Did you see my analysis and the patch for the problem?
 
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2008-June/031294.html
 
 Your patch doesn't address the "netstat -m -N foo" case. It also removes
 the backward compatibility code. I don't know if that code has any real
 value but I don't see need to remove it to fix this bug.
