Would the kind soul who started mouthing off about the Boehm garbage
collector not working on NetBSD with optimisation enabled please
contact either myself (agc@uts.amdahl.com) or Hans Boehm
(boehm.PARC@xerox.com) to provide us with more information?

I was the one who did the original port (back in the days when NetBSD
only ran on the i386, around about 0.8 timeframe), and, as far as I
can see, it works perfectly for me.  And has done since 1993.  (4.9
passes its tests successfully on NetBSD/i386 1.1A, February 10th
sources).
