System: NetBSD intrepid 4.99.34 NetBSD 4.99.34 (INTREPID.NEWBOX) #2: Sun Oct 21 18:39:46 PDT 2007 scotte@intrepid:/nbu/source/netbsd/src/obj.amd64/nbu/source/netbsd/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/INTREPID.NEWBOX amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
	
Using build.sh to build the system, or even just simply invoking nbpax
directly causes the program to core.  The same issue happened with nbmtree,
and was recently fixed.  I suspect nbpax has the same problem, but have
not investigated.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Build nbpax (ideally via build.sh), use it to create an archive, and enjoy.
>Fix:
	
Not known, but likely similar to the recent nbmtree fix.

>Unformatted:
 it attempts file i/o on the target file
