From the CVS log:

revision 1.27.2.2
date: 1999/06/18 18:05:12;  author: perry;  state: Exp;  lines: +19 -4
pullup 1.28->1.29 (chuq): fixes loss of process data under heavy paging bug

So yes, it's in 1.4.1

I think it's planned for end of july ... but you can already grab the sources
and compile them by yourselve:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-release/
