It's not a system specific change, unless top itself is not parametric. There are other changes that have obviously not been sent back to the official maintainers like they should be. Is there a FreeBSD maintainer of 'top' now? If there's an assigned, responsible party for additional maintenance, I'll make the change; otherwise, I'm not going to be the fall guy for advocating FreeBSD's changes back to the real maintainer simply because someone else was too lazy.
