} Well our mail hub is actually a Solaris box, so I know the package works 

     I've been thinking of installing it on a Solaris 8 box for another
site, so good to know that it runs there.

} there.  Unfortunately for this package the extent of the testing I can do on 
} NetBSD is that it builds (actually thats not true, given a little time I could 
     Building it isn't a problem.  Running it is a different story.

} rig up something to test it out but its not my standard setup).

     I've been thinking of rigging a test on a -current system to see
if maybe the problem is with pth.  If it works on -current, maybe I'll
try different pthread libraries on the 1.6.1 box.  I'll report back
after I do some more tests.

     BTW, I've also seen it running on a FreeBSD 4.8 box with pthreads
included in libc_r.
