I've been bit hard in the last two days due to the 64 bit size of files
in NetBSD. Make sure you cast references to file size in lseek
to off_t and to cast references to the st_size field of the stat
structure to int. You'll also run in to problems with sys_errlist's
declaration under NetBSD, usually its safe to just wrap it in
#if !defined(__NetBSD__)
in programs.
FYI,

p.s.
The tex/dvi/xdvi tools from ftp.cs.umb.edu work wonderfully and
texinfo 3.1 does too. tex had the lseek syndrome, texinfo gobs of
st_size references.
