   Ah. You are running what might be called "sup-current", which
currently tracks the 1.5 release branch. You can tell by the OS
version 1.5.1_ALPHA; it would be 1.5P if you were getting the real
current source from the trunk. SUP is supposed to start tracking
the trunk again at some point, but for now you'll have to use
anoncvs to get at it. The directions for getting the source via
CVS is available on the NetBSD web site.
   Note that you are likely to run into a few snags when trying to
upgrade from 1.5.1_ALPHA to 1.5P from source. Here is what I had
to do (as far as I can recall) to get to where I was running a
-current (1.5O, actually, but close enough) system:

	cvs checkout src
	build and boot a new kernel
	make includes in src
	make all install in src/lib/libc
	make all install in src/usr.bin/xlint
	make build in src
	reboot

Good luck.
