Okay that is very recent - and very unfortunate. But as we don't know if/when 
the out-of-tree BSD port will come back into mainline, I would not want to see 
the existing BSD support effectively gone in JDK 27+. To that end we may need 
to look at specifically fixing what broke in that commit. Though the BSD 
specific changes there look innocuous to me.
