 Uhm... waaay ago.  Sorry, I don't have a NetBSD installation handy at
 the moment.  I thought I carefully followed the bug then=E2=84=A2; must hav=
 e missed
 something there, sorry, so no feedback available.
 
 But after reading the bug trace, memory starts coming back.  This was a
 broader topic either; wasn't really connected to something behaving badly
 in my environment but a more general problem.  So since there seem to be
 several corner-cases, I think there's no good way, giving extensive
 feedback either.
 
 So... sorry, guys.
