	Works just fine for me on the following configuration:

>NetBSD turmeric.itojun.org 1.4P NetBSD 1.4P (TURMERIC.v6) #189: Sun Dec 26 21:45:33 PST 1999     itojun@turmeric.itojun.org:/usr/home/itojun/NetBSD/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/TURMERIC.v6 i386

	Could you try to investigate which part of kernel is generating
	the error?
