>Description:
TME asserts when attempting to make chimera from pkgsrc.  Patch file below changes TME to continue with a warning (rather than exiting under assert).  Please see the patch file below for specifics on what happens in the console in the emulator if the assertion is ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
Inside the emulator (running NetBSD 3.0 and pkgsrc 2006Q3, cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/chimera, then make.
