I'm sorry, but as a maintainer of net-mgmt/flow-tools-ng I'm not going 
to accept this patch. It goes far beyond than simple build fix, it 
changes some internal structures in weird way (from my point of view) 
and I can't predict how this would work.

You have already posted the patch on the project issue tracker and this 
is indeed a correct way. I'm watching it and will bring the final fix or 
new version to the ports ASAP.
