No. 4.9-STABLE has had the fix since November 22, 2003, yes, but not 
4.9-RELEASE or the RELENG_4_9 security branch (which I use). I don't use 
-STABLE because even though they're conservative about changes that 
could possibly break things, I've had problems with it a few times in 
the past. The problem is that you just never really know what 4.x-STABLE 
is because it all depends on the particular point in time when you 
checked out the sources. If he said it was fixed in FreeBSD 4.9, that 
would lead one to believe that 4.9-RELEASE contained the fix, which is 
wrong.
