IOMETER not honoring "Delay" specs for network under Linux

I just submitted bug 2521567 regarding failure of IOMETER to honor "Delay" parameter in Access Specifications that are used for network testing under Linux.  In the cases I was testing, the delay was not honored; requests were sent out back-to-back with no intervening delay.  From looking at the code, it appears that under some circumstances it MIGHT also be possible to have the delays honored, but with the CPU doing busy-wait during the idle time.

In any case, I submitted a patch along with the bug report that fixes the problem, avoiding any busy-wait.

This bug is against the current release candidate 2008-06-22-rc2.  There doesn't seem to be much activity among the developers/forums/bug-tracker.  Do I need to take any additional actions to get this bug-fix into a subsequent release or release candidate?
