I ran into this `problem' myself when I built a PPPoE box for my brother.
Took me a fsck or two to figure out just what had happened-- it's not often
I need to hit the debugger under NetBSD!

It *might* be a good idea to build GENERIC with this removed, as GENERIC is
most likely to be used by the non-technically-inclined, but better minds
than I may have already considered that.
