Actually, I am more surprised than anything else -- NetBSD has 
been wonderfully stable, useful, and predictable over the three years
I've used it.  

What information would be useful in tracking this down?  I used
pkgsrc.tar.gz dated April 21; I have 1.5 from the Wasabi CD; I have
some packages installed from the Wasabi distribution -- which predates
April 21 by some months. As I mentioned, the package did build and
register correctly -- on both this machine and on an older Tecra
510 CDT.  On the Tecra - also with some packages from the Wasabi
CD and some from a newer pkgsrc.tar.gz - the result was a working
installation of ghostscript.  On this machine (a PII Dell OptiPlex
GXa), ghostscript did not work.
