        NetBSD-5 is probably close enough for this test - the issue
        has been showing up on NetBSD/atari current from before the
        netbsd-5 branch.
        Thats another good data point though - amiga and atari appear
        to be among the few m68k ports which don't use the common
        sys/arch/m68k/m68k/pmap_motorola.c and their pmap.c files
        are *very* similar, apart from a various cleanups and fixes
        to the amiga pmap.

        So... quickest shortterm fix might be to sync the atari pmap
        with the amiga one, though a better solution (tho' more effort)
        would be to switch atari to sys/arch/m68k/m68k/pmap_motorola.c...

        Thanks
