Yes, I have it running fine with current. Last recompiled on April
20th. I don't really remember what changes I made to make it work,
since I didn't really record anything, but I suppose I could put up
the sources somewhere if they're not already available. It seems to
pass all the expected tests.

Incidentally, certain tests are supposed to fail because they expect a
"standard" Unix, and NetBSD does a few things differently (some of the
db stuff).
