fairly recent, from: 

# uname -a
NetBSD server6 1.4K NetBSD 1.4K (PASTA.v6) #2: Tue Sep 28 01:46:29
CEST 1999     root@server6:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/PASTA.v6 i386

and

NetBSD zila.pasta.cs.uit.no 1.4K NetBSD 1.4K (ZILA.v6) #0: Sat Sep 11 20:01:58 CEST 1999
dillema@zum:/usr/NetBSD/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZILA.v6 i386

I can try real -current on one of the machines to see if it helps...
