>Description:
TME asserts when ftp getting pkgsrc.tar from netbsd.org.  if changed to a print 
statement instead of assert, it prints a few times during the ftp, but the 
final .tar file is correct (same checksum).  I have not seen the problem other 
than than when ftping that file.

>How-To-Repeat:
Log into the emulator (running NetBSD 3.0 inside the emulator), then ftp get 
pkgsrc.tar from ftp.netbsd.org.
>Fix:
Just comment out the assert.  The resulting file will be correct.  Patch for 
ic/i825x6.c follows:
