 The problem is still there. I have about 200 diskless netbsd machines 
 (used as X terminals). There are some application I would like to run 
 local on the X terminal). One of these is skype and it's dumping core on 
 me. mounting -o -X,-2 doesn't help. It happens with
 NetBSD xtk103 5.99.7 NetBSD 5.99.7 (XT) #0: Thu Feb 26 15:49:53 CET 2009
 and with
 NetBSD xtk108 5.0_RC2 NetBSD 5.0_RC2 (XT) #7: Mon Feb 16 14:40:47 CET 2009
 
 I configured vnd0 to 1.5gb file mounted from the nfs-root, filled it, 
 mounted it and chrooted to it. running skype from there did just work 
 fine, but I think this is just insane.
 
 Next step: I reverted to nfs and it still runs. It looks like  it just 
 needs to create its configuration files and then it will run...
 
 Next experiment: It is .fonts.cache-1 which I have to remove to provoke 
 the segmentation fault.
