System: NetBSD 3am-out-of-beaumont.eterna.com.au 1.5E NetBSD 1.5E (_3am-out_) #64: Wed Aug 16 11:56:40 EST 2000 mrg@3am-eternal.eterna.com.au:/orb/y/obj.sys/_3am-out_ arm32


>Description:

	it was reported to me that m68k python was failing this very simple
	test:  "import socket".  i am unable to reproduce this problem on
	an ELF platform, but both m68k & arm32 (a.out) platforms fail in
	the same way.

	during the pkg's "install" phase, i noticed this several times:

ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_socket)
