Good to hear and I'm glad to see it is working for you too...

BTW: This system is a fresh install of NetBSD-1.5-alpha. I found that
when upgrading over several versions, one needs to check the binaries
for old left-overs. Things change, including the installation
directories for certain binaries. This happened to me a few times
where I had two different version of binaries after an upgrade. I've
since made it to a ritual to walk through these directories and delete
files that appear to be from a previous install.
