I opened a PR[0] several weeks ago about a critical bug in the
linux_base port.  Thusfar nobody has acted on my PR.  This bug seriously
affects FreeBSD's ability to run Linux applications.  The linux_base
port is currently maintainerless (MAINTAINER set to ports@freebsd.org).
Would someone please commit my patch before 5.1 ports are tagged?

If necessary I am willing to take over maintenance of linux_base.  This
port is too important to sit broken for weeks at a time.
