Hmmmm, this sounds like it could be a problem a problem with possibly 
one of two things that have happened to me:

1) something is wrong with the dynamic libraries.

2) The kernel version is different than that of the rest of the
software on the computer (ie, it is part of a different NetBSD
release).

Of course it could easially be something else.  What have you changed
recently?
