Subjunctive(?): not critical that

[Benjamin Barrett]

I recently wrote a sentence, which said in part, "it's not critical
that everything *tie* together."

My client wants to know if it should be "ties."

Is this a case of the fading subjunctive (in which case either is
okay), or is there something else going on here?
