Hm... My /etc tends to lag far behind my binary stuff, and I'm not actually
using this file...
Anyway, my CPU is an AMD K6-2. It shows npx as existing:
npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0-0xff: using exception 16

I've definitely not mangled /etc recently, so I don't think that's it, at
least in my case.
Trying 1.4.1 ought to be instructive... I've got a disk ready for it, and
I get the errors pretty early on, depending on what I'm doing, so I'd ought
to be able to see something substantive by tonight.
