WorkMan 1.3 compiles with the same trick (__FreeBSD__ ==> __NetBSD__)
and works fine with -current kernel.  It requires XView, but it's,
unlike Motif, freely available, thus less problematic.  I got
pre-compiled XView library from NetBSD/Amiga site in Germany (I
think).

Instead, I changed WorkMan source to use rcd0a.  I'm not so sure if
it's the canonical way, but it works for me.

It's almost the same problem I had.  In my case, anything dynamically
linked dumped core, though.  Thanks to Paul Goyette and Allen Briggs,
new SCSI driver cured the symptom.  I think it's checked in on Oct.
3rd's sup scan.
