Namedb still using named.pid link?

[Glen Johnson <gjohnson%valcom.com@localhost>]

Netbsd-users,
I just got named up and running on my NetBSD box.  I found using chroot 
was easy to use too, good job NetBSD.  When it came time to restart 
named I typed /etc/rc.d/named stop (as root).  I got "named not running? 
(check /var/run/named.pid)."  After checking things out named was indeed 
running, /var/chroot/named/var/run/named.pid did exist, but there was no 
/var/run/named.pid.
I checked on line and found 
http://www.daemonnews.org/200110/named-chroot.html which states:

   NetBSD 1.5.2 and older has a bug in /etc/rc.subr that prevents it 
from looking for the PID-file in the right place when
   chroot is used. We simply place a symlink to work around this bug:
   ln -s ~named/var/run/named.pid /var/run/named.pid

I tried this and it works.  So my question is did I set something up 
wrong or does NetBSD still need this work around?  I figure I missed 
something, more likely, so what is it?
Thank you,
Glen Johnson
