	Yes, if you're building from pkgsrc it should be applied
automatically. You should see the lines:

===>  Patching for xcopilot-0.6.6
===>  Applying NetBSD patches for xcopilot-0.6.6

during the package build.

	Hm. Well, it definitely works for me with the 2.0 debug ROM,
so I'm not sure what to tell you. If you want to try and track down
the problem (after making sure it built properly), you could set up a
spinlock after the fork() call and attach gdb to the child processes
and see where they lose that way.

	Oh, if you want to get the ROM from your device, install the
pilot-link package and use the pi-getrom tool.
