 given how veriexecctl works, I don't think it needs to.
 
 (I'm getting rather tired of this thread. if you think fileassoc is
 dangerous, fine, do whatever you like: disable it, disable veriexec,
 remove whatever code you want from the tree, I *really* don't care.
 I do think, however, that this will probably be a bigger disservice to
 the netbsd project and user community than you think, and suggest you
 try to take a look at what critical bugs netbsd-4 will ship with before
 you're blowing this issue beyond proportion. the only user of fileassoc
 in netbsd-4 which I'm willing to "back up" is veriexec, and given the
 ioctl() calls, triggering fileassoc_add(), happen in a userland "loop"
 in a single execution thread, I don't see a problem.)
