No. I've never seen and never heard of such a problem. I'm running pcvt
and XFree86 3.1.1 on a S3 based ELSA Winner 1000 and don't have any problems
with it.

I don't know. Anyway i recommend upgrading to 3.30, the 3.00 version still
present in the NetBSD source tree is really outdated and full of bugs fixed
in 3.30.

BTW: it would be nice, if the core team would delete the pcvt subtree from
     the NetBSD/i386 in case nobody wants to upgrade it to 3.30. I offered
     help with this to Chris and Charles, but it seems they are not happy
     with pcvt being in the source tree. It's just becoming painfully boring
     for me to get mail from NetBSD users all over the world asking to fix
     things for NetBSD's pcvt which were fixed long ago and made their way
     into 3.30.
     
     My offer for help in any form with pcvt in the NetBSD/i386 tree is still
     valid, and this is in no way meant to be offensive, but if the core does
     not want to upgrade pcvt - delete it! Thank you.
