To all,

Yes, I did see the recommendation to have the compiler fixed, but as the
compiler is much slower to get updated in the NetBSD source tree, I opted
for a temporary fix not to optimize for this particular piece of the
system.

It sounds screwy, and I will post a bug to the compiler group (once I figure
how...), but we need something that is not going to break *now*.  Named
is a rather critical application.

# 	No, I'm not actually on this mailing list.  We (ISC/Nominum)
# 	to the best of my knowledge have not sent off a bug report or
# 	are aware of whether this bug is fixed in a later version of
# 	the compiler.  
# 
# 	We did recommend to the person who orignally reported it that
# 	they file a bug report against the compiler.
