the mailing list archives on the ftp site are just the mails as they were:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/mailing-lists/netbsd-bugs/

the PR you're after is in:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/mailing-lists/netbsd-bugs/netbsd-bugs.0553

There's a few days worth of prs in the file but it's easy enough to get the 
one  you want (I think the actual file is in a standard mail format, no idea 
which one though)
