It seems that so many of us have been successfully using this patch
to src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c for a great while now.  I have carefully
followed the thread on current@ concerning this topic.  The patch was
"turned down" but I don't know why.  Even though this no longer helps
the situation on 7.X having it committed to the tree for 6.X would be
a big help!  Patching it myself after every cvs update is not such a 
big deal; It is forgetting to  patch it after every update which is a
big deal.  Even though it is impossible to run Flash on HEAD it seems
this patch has been thoroughly, if unofficially, tested on STABLE.

This is my plea to a src committer: Please have mercy and commit the
above patch.  If this is truly impossible, please explain why.  Let us
all keep our hopes that a true solution may be found before RELENG_7_0_RELEASE.


Most Respectfully,

Duane Whitty
