Look at the modification date on the file...are you sure it didn't update
the file?  (It could be that your change was identical to the source
change.)

Just send in a PR (using send-pr or the web page on www.netbsd.org) to
request the above change, and include a context diff of the files involved
(i.e. 'diff -c proc.h.ol proc.h').

Make it a separate PR for this one.  I'm pretty that there is an
enhancement or change request category for a PR.
