Hi,
Since this problem makes fdisk on GNU/kFreeBSD nearly unusable,
and the proposed change is very unintrusive, I went ahead and
uploaded an NMU to DELAYED/3.
Tuco: thanks for the patch; I made a simpler version with __FreeBSD_kernel__
so that configure doesn't need to be regenerated. Would you please
send your version of the patch to the upstream authors?
Lamont: My version of the patch is attached. Note that it has no effect on
GNU/Linux. Please let me know of any concerns/whatever or if my upload
needs to be cancelled.
Thanks
