Yup, that fixed it.  I'm amazed that I missed it when I was looking
into the problem, and that it has persisted for so long (must be close
to a year that it's been broken...)

The current kernel that builds gets 'proc size mismatch' on the kvm-type
programs (ps, etc.) and I can't get userland to build until sup.netbsd.org
is back online, but soon after it is, I should be able to put up new
binaries.
