I would like to run some Linux applications in emulation mode (on 1.5.3) and
I am running into the same problems described in the thread ending with:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2002/05/21/0024.html

The referenced message suggests the "kernel is just returning a Linux
version too old."  Is this fixed in -current?  What is the "fix?"

Thanks.
